I would know clergy tartan a mile away. I wear it. I'd immediately strike up a conversation with you and you'd be embarassed in a moment when I started asking you about where you studied and were ordained. To avoid that, do consider some of the excellent suggestions offered.

I'd love to see some of the clerics revive the Wilsons' Priest tartan. Wonderfully ecclesiastical colours.

I plan to do exactly that, hopefully sometime soon. Then on to the Pennsylvania tartan. (Since I already have the Henderson tartan, I will have covered "clan, district, and vocation" through the artistry of the kilt!)

I would agree. I wear Clergy myself (being a Pagan minister) but have been embarrassed by a similar conversation, given the fact that there aren't a lot of pagan schools out there... I had to study and learn on my own. But such is life!
