    Lightbulb Need your advice Rabble!

    I'm not keen on the US Army Tartan. But interested in a Tartan which covers all Armed forces? (Like some universal tartan).
    or Is it just branch specific? which means, I've to go with any single branch.

    If you can’t find such an existing tartan, you could use this opportunity to design one. Fairly sure a search for tartan design apps would find quite a few.

    I’m not sure there is a US Armed Forces tartan. All I’ve seen are branch or organization specific - USA, USN, USMC, USAF, SeaBees, etc. Maybe the American Heritage tartan from USA Kilts would be of interest.

    Just curious, what is it that you don't like? I ask because it can be woven in different shades of the colors which would make it appear rather different.

    As a US Army veteran I also disagree with the Army tartan snipers - never wore blue when I was in ['73-79]. If you read up on that tartan that was to honor the designer's unit. Here's one called Scottish American Military you might like.

    Be easier IF you were Canadian...guessing there's a tartan for their merged armed forces.

    Yeah, Actually I'm not directly related to any specific branch.
    But I'm a patriot and want to get a Heritage kilt. I think Scottish American Heritage suggested by a lad, would be the one I'm going for.

    Thank you so much Rabble for your help. Now it's time to add one more kilt in my closet.

    Do you mean what I understand you are writing? ALL armed forces, or limiting your interest just to the US of A armed forces?
