Federal Memorial Tartan - Opposite of the Confederate Memorial Tartan

[Riverkilt]

Rocky ran a special order of this back in June. Jumped on the bandwagon to honor my two great great grandfather's who fought for the Union. One as a "Squirrel Hunter" defending against John Hunt Morgan's raid through Ohio...and later he defended Washington D.C. against Early's raid. The other fought in the Tennessee campaigns. Both saw the elephant frequently.





The tartan is even more beautiful in person and out in the sun. Designed well by Dr. Smith. Rocky had the special run made at House of Edgar - 16 ounce. Kathy Lare sewed it up for me - kilt number 3695 for her.

I'm very pleased with the quality of the fabric, Kathy's craftsmanship, and that Rocky made the effort to get a few Federal Memorial tartans out there to offset the barrage of Confederate Memorial tartans.

And, this is kilt #78 for this gutter kilt junkie....

I really enjoy your sense of family heritage, choice of kiltmaker, and photographic skills.

Good for you!!

Nice tartan and kilt Ron! I am a bit curious about the pleating though, it looks to be a sett and a half or ....? What am I looking at there?

[Riverkilt]

I don't know....I'll ask....always leave it up to her.

I think that may be my next tartan in honor of may ancestor who also fought for the Union.
