American National Tartan !?!?!

[starbkjrus]

I assume that is a new fashion tartan. It is not listed in the Compendium of District Tartans (Newsome & Bullman, Scotpress 2004 & 2005) and differs from the American, American with Eagle and United States / St. Andrews tartans.

I tend to agree with you Dee, yet I can see myself wearing any of those gorgeous tartans.

I like the American. I can see myself wearing that... maybe I will see myself wearing that

My next kilt is going to be in the American National tartan. I requested a sample swatch from the House of Edgar and the real thing looks much nicer than electronic version.

Here is a little more realistic looking swatch:

I don't care for it. Maybe if they replaced the green stripes with white ones.

It's better than that horrid "American Bicentennial." I'll say that for it.

But they do have a white stripe in it

I sure don't see any white stripe
is it my monitor?

Definitly better than American Bicentennial. I would never wear a kilt in AB. But this is nice. The green stripe is a little odd, though. Perhaps a nod to the great forests of old?

Joe,
Click on the link that Angus provided. The white stripe is easier to see in that graphic. That graphic also looks more like the real tartan than the others.

Nick,
Yes, I think the green stripe is a nod to Scotland.
