I accept that Marton Mills is the go-to source for p/v tartan, but as near as I can tell American District is not standard. Rocky has some fine fabrics, but his American Heritage sucks. The black in it is just too much, expressing a sentiment that seems to me to be that of one who has never been there and never done that. (Hoverer I do have one of his kilts and will order another.)


Scotweb (Dalgliesh) hasn't made a good impression on me. Their posted prices aren't necessarily their true prices, there are hidden fees, and their reputation for quality control is declining.

I'd wear often a kilt in American District, or American Bicentennial, or some such. I recently noted on-line a tartan suggested as War of 1812 Bicentennial. It does a good job of representing the USA, with it's 13 alternating red and white stripes. Anyway, anything but American Heritage.


I may have to consult with Marton Mills about a special run of some kind of American tartan that doesn't look like the sound of Taps. Maybe there'd be some interest in it.

In the mean time, I'd like to hear from others.
