Interesting! I didn't know it was a black tartan. I've seen Jason in person while he's wearing that kilt and I never noticed. He did receive a bit of stick over that kilt, from the pipe band community!
That might have been the same tartan that Elsie Stuehmeyer was talking about. She made a kilt for Colin Armstrong, Pipe Major of the Los Angeles Scottish, in a black-on-black tartan, and she said it was nearly impossible to see the pattern in order to do the pleating: she had to go outside in direct sunlight to discern the tartan.
