Commenting on the design, Mr Portch said, "The sett should be exactly the same as Royal Stewart with light Scottish blue replacing the red ground and white over checking." It is not entirely clear if Mr Portch has developed a 'trade variant' or is explaining his view of the 'correct form' of the Blue Stewart.
