I was considering the same thing, being a dyed-in-the-wool Texan (pun intended!). But at the Highland Games a couple of weeks ago I saw a young woman in the local pipe band wearing a kilt in this tartan and I didn't particularly care for it. I always thought it looked like a pretty nice tartan, but seeing it on an actual kilt was a little disappointing. Maybe it was just because it was a woman wearing it, but it looked to me a lot like a dancer's tartan or a dress tartan. It has a lot of light blue colors and the overall scheme just came across (to my eye) as too light.

What might be fun is a custom weave Texas Bluebonnet tartan but in weathered colors. For some reason, I'm thinking that the tartan may take on a whole new look with a weathered color scheme instead of the original.
