YOUR tartan

[Jim Simmons]

The U.S. Army Tartan that appears in my avatar. The colors represent to me my pride in my service in the U.S. Army and in the U.S. Border Patrol.

Good Stuff,

As a veteran and card carrying DHS member thanks for your service. It goes to show that kilties are a diverse bunch active, retired, proud of their plaid people...


Semper Paratus!

There are a whole string of very special tartans for me, and sadly most of them seem out of my reach.
My clan tartan is Lindsay, and I would love to own a tank in Lindsay Modern.
I have designed a suite of tartans for my own family, starting with the one I use as my profile picture. This is for general wear (hunting?). I also have one with white instead of brown (an arisaid) for the womenfolk, one with pale blue instead of brown, which I call my dress sett, and another with deep red instead of brown, which I think I might like to wear as a plaid with my dress tartan.
South Africa has no district tartans as yet, neither national nor regional. I have registered one for national use called Spirit of 1994, but it has yet to be woven, let alone recognised at any level.
And I have designed quite a few more for the new and old provinces of South Africa.
But in the meantime I will have to be satisfied with belonging to the Jesus clan and wearing my Mighty Men kilt.
Regards,
Mike

I wanted to design and have woven my own personal tartan, but decided I could not afford it. But I did want to feel an attachment to the tartan I chose. I'm glad I like the California tartan, being native Californian (several generations). So that was my first kilt and so far still favorite tartan.

Next (purchased) kilt is Isle of Skye, though... so a new favorite could be coming soon...
