    New tartan



    This new tartan was created by a French Gentleman for his homeland , Franche comté.

    He wanted me to present it to the Rabble.

    He hopes you like it !


    Best,

    Robert

    Nice! Is there any significance in the selection of the colors?

    The white and red crosses refer to the coat of arms of ancient imperial Comté before 1279.
    The other colours (blue, yellow, black and red)refer to the coat of arms of modern Comté.
    A second blue for hope.

    I like it as well. Also curious as to the background of the tartan and any significance...
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    For a Double Box Pleated Kilt, I would place the 2 yellow lines right on the box: The result would be very impressive.
