    Unknown Tartan - Orange, Blue, White only

    I saw this tartan offered as a throw and clothing at a gift shop.

    There was NO tartan identity on the merchandise.

    Just curious about its identity.

    Uses only three colors Orange, Blue, White






    I made a higher resolution image and was able to do a thread count


    White 4
    Orange 12
    Blue 8
    Orange 12
    White 4
    Blue 26
    Orange 2
    Blue 26

    My first thought was University of Illinois - school colors are orange and blue, ans was almost in Illinois when I saw it.

    Could not find any reference to U of I have an official tartan.

    There may be a real name associated with it but I don't know it. It's very likely it is simply a "fashion" tartan with no formal identity other than a sku number in a vendors register.

    Not in the STA's Master Db and so I'd say definitely a fashion sett.

    Maybe Matt N. can chime in on this one.
    He would probably be the best source.

    That's either the "Flannel Shirt" tartan or the "Sleeping Bag Lining" tartan; not sure which....
