TWO former army tailors have designed a tartan fit for heroes.
Ex-soldiers George Neil and Billy McGregor created the Help For Heroes plaid to raise cash for the charity after going into business together.
new tartan, help for heroes
Former Royal Highland Fusilier George, 44, from Pollok, Glasgow, said: “Because both of us have lost comrades and had first-hand experience of friends being hurt, we were determined to do something to support Help For Heroes as it’s such a fantastic charity.
“We came up with the idea of designing a special tartan and two years on, we’re now seeing it made up for the first time.
“It’s amazing to think that people will soon be wearing it at weddings and functions, and every time they do, servicemen and women will be helped.”
Billy, 44, from Dundee, said: “We chose colours to represent the three services – royal blue for the navy, red for the army and light blue for the air force.”
It is available through George and Billy’s Edinburgh shop GB Tailoring. Kilt hire supplier ACS Clothing have also teamed up with retailers to ensure a £4 donation will go to Help For Heroes every time a customer hires an outfit.
