Casual USA Tartan?

[macwilkin]

I don't know, I got the idea from browsing the site of one of your competitors; one that doesn't seem to have a presence here at XMarks. I'll PM you the link; it's near the bottom of their tartans.

Their ad copy says "This is the official USA tartan, aka "St. Andrews" woven in a special poly blend just for ********. A patriotic blend of red, navy blue, and of course white.

Just a correction on their ad copy: the US/St. Andrew's tartan has never been officially adopted as the "official" American tartan. It was originally proposed as a bicentennial tartan, but the official bicentennial committee would not recognise it as such. It later became known as the "St. Andrews" tartan because some American St. Andrew's Society began to promote its wear by their members.

Besides this tartan, there are several other "American" tartans, including the "American" tartan, designed in 1975 by John C. Cumming, and the "American National Tartan" (http://www.americannationaltartan.com/). I also remember one named "American Eagle" tartan.

Cheers,

Todd

Just remember, Rocky, if you ever get the Navy (Edsel) tartan in PV, I'll beg borrow and steal the money to get a semi in that. Otherwise, I'll have to keep saving for the wool.

Not to my knowledge.

The US/St. Andrew's tartan is too loud for my tastes, but I would go for a pv version of the American National tartan.

If Rocky could get either of these American tartans in PV, I would buy one!
