Confederate Memorial Tartan kilt jones

**Donnie** · 26th November 08, 10:04 AM

I just ordered a 16oz Confederate Memorial Tartan kilt from Frugal Corner. Now my wife tells me that it will be for Christmas and won't even let me open it till then!

I like that tartan. It's on my wish list.

I have not done anything with them, but Frugal Corner doesn't get too much love around here. I really like that tartan though, it would be great to wear on Dick Dowling day, so I might be tempted. Please post a review!

I have read some posts here that were not flattering about Frugal corner. I called and they said they had the kilt in stock. It was supposed to ship out that day. We will see.

I noticed that the sample fabric posted on Frugal Corner's web site appears to differ somewhat from Mr. Theiges official CMT. Specifically, the predominant color of Mr. Thiege's Tartan is clearly gray, whereas the FC sample appears to have a bluish tint.

Additionally, the Frugal Corner's sample appears to lack the light infantry blue horizontal and vertical stripes contained in the Confederate Memorial Tartan. The official CMT has 6 colors-gray as the primary color for the Confederacy, as well as yellow for the Cavalry, red for the artillery, light blue for the infantry and Navy Blue for the Confederate Navy. White is also incorporated with red and blue into a set of overstripes to reflect the Red, white and blue of the Confederate Battle flag.

There is a Federal Memorial tartan -- talk to Matt or Barb -- Matt has made a kilt in it before.

The Mass. Commandery of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War sells ties and other items in the Federal Memorial.
