Arizona Tartan

[CoyotesFan84]

Hi All,

I looked in the regional and local boards for activity but there's not been anything recently so I thought I'd post here. Would any of you fine folk have interest in purchasing products with the Arizona tartan? I'm a native and I absolutely love it but after speaking with Rocky, the custom option for just one kilt is well outside my price range. If any of you have interest in the near (or far... I seriously want this kilt) future, please PM me and maybe we could do a group buy?

Mods, I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. Please adjust/remove if necessary.

Thanks!

I bit the bullet on this last year and ended up going the custom route through Rocky. I have no regrets paying through the nose, but it's something I'll probably never do again. Totally worth it, though!

I'd prefer not to have to go that route (no offense Rocky. I love what you do but am on a budget) but it's looking like it's more likely I'll have to than not.

If you don't mind me asking, I searched but had a hard time finding a hi-res image of it. Would you mind taking a pic (don't have to be wearing) and either post or PM to me? I'd really like to see the weft and weave up close.

Thanks!

Is this the tartan that you are talking about? I'd love to have a kilt made in this tartan too...but it'll be in the far future.

Thanks for the link but it's totally different! USA Kilts has a series of custom State (seal) tartans which appear to be pulled from the seals of respective states. I know there's a thread in the local forum for those who've purchased this (https://www.usakilts.com/gallery/13-...tate-seal/view) exact kilt from them but I couldn't see any hi-res ones and I'd like to see what it really looks like up close. I (incorrectly) assumed you had the AZ kilt done by Rocky so sorry for the confusion!

But hey, if you're interested in the future, PLEASE keep me in mind. I believe he has to order at least 12-15 yards of material to make it a worthwhile investment so we'd only need one more person to go in if we were interested in getting one. It significantly lowers the cost per kilt.

Let me know your thoughts (that copper color! HNNNGGGGG) and please do let me know if you like and/or plan to purchase this one in particular. I desperately want it but can't justify the custom cost.

You can get a good look at the kilt in my unboxing video at https://youtu.be/qgPPVQWFmx8

This is significantly different from Rocky's State Seal Tartans which are exclusive to, and available only through, USA Kilts.

I am familiar with the USA Kilts State tartans. Interesting concept, but I like the official Arizona tartan better. Good luck finding a few more that are interested in the one you like!
