    Red, White & Blue Kilts?

    In the USA we have Memorial Day coming up later this month, followed by Independence Day on July 4th. Does anyone have a favorite Red, White & Blue kilt or tartan for the festivities?

    Same here. I expect to do the same for July 4th again this year. The city where I live has a big event on Independence day. Parade, street vendors, entertainment, and fireworks that evening.

    Why yes, as a matter of fact. I'm rather fond of the Colorado state tartan:

    I've seen the pics of the tartan on the USAKilts website, but it looks pretty dark. Do you have any pictures of the kilt?

    Dark? Well, it's black with red white and blue lines. So a little dark I guess.

    Dalgliesh is stocking the American district tartan in heavy weight (the blue appears a bit lighter in real life).


    Then there is the US Bicentennial tartan, now more commonly called the US St. Andrews tartan. Lochcarron stocks it in a 10 oz.

    I'm surprised that "American District" has black instead of blue.
