    More messing about with tartan designs

    I'm quite enjoying this . Possibly a bit too much blue for a hunting tartan, I like it though

    All I'm seeing is a blank white square... if that's your tartan, I'd say it is too much for a hunting tartan.

    If not, consider this one I designed as a joke:


    I named it "United States Hunting" - done in the brightest orange I could find to honor traditional American hunting gear and almost certainly more garish than something with too much blue.

    I am also under the impression that many Lowland hunting tartans have significantly more blue - in fact, my understanding is that the Ramsay Blue tartan was originally adopted as a hunting tartan.

    Love the blaze orange approach (both as humor and for real). Thx!

    Now that's funny. And brilliant.

    "North American Hunting" might be a better name. There are plenty in Canada also who wear blaze orange all fall.

    True enough, but the sett is very much based on the United States tartan (complete with red, white, and blue lines/stripes).

    I also feel bad for hijacking this thread with what I intended to be a small bit of humor. I do hope that David, the OP, can forgive me. I do hope the issues preventing us from seeing his design are sorted out soon so that we can go back to discussing his design. I posted my design in another thread if folks want to continue the discussion there.

    All I see in the OP is white too...maybe it is snow camo for winter hunting.
