That's my problem with "made up tartans" that are not recognized by more than one party. If it was identified that certain tartans were not officially recognized or real, than I wouldn't have a problem. It seems too much like misleading someone that may be new to the product and that doesn't know anything about tartans.

USA kilts did well on identifying this by adding quotation marks to the tartans they had named. Mind you I couldn't see if they explained those quotations anywhere. I don't know if it is the same on their new site or not.

I personnaly would feel like an idiot explaining my tartan that was "made-up" to someone that knew their tartans.I would then be choked at the kiltmaker for not informing me of this word-smithing.
