Arizona Tartan pics

That is one cool tartan! I do agree that the brown would just look great with it. Enjoy your new kilt.

Nice tartan, great kilt. Nice shiny pelt, too. I'm envious.

The brown gear will also look good, but I think your black gear would work better for dress casual (as I see you dressed for these pictures) if you used hose that wasn't pure white (a bit too formal for the setting and shirt).

All in all, once your brown gear arrives, worn correctly, you'll have more choices for either dress, day wear casual or dress casual wear with that kilt. I guess you could also wear that kilt pure casual, but I think it would overwhelm.

That is a beautiful tartan Red,

Danged if I can get it related to Arizona though...I "know" brown deserts and green trees...but hey, Arizona to me is the flag colors...or more redrock colors.

Had visions, before opening the thread, of blue and copper and red and gold....

Gonna take a while to wrap my mind around that being an Arizona tartan...that its so sharp looking should help.

Maybe a copper belt buckle with the brown leather...

Or a rattlesnake skin sporran...

very cool, Is there more than one AZ tartan? Of course I might have looked at a weathered or ancient color scheme. That one does match the photo environment perfectly. O'Neille

Sharp tartan, sharp kilt and great photo's RR. Yes, the brown would probably work better than black. Post those pics when you get them

Very sharp tartan - and Matt's work looks great!

I agree with Mr. Gilmore's take on the socks - the white is a bit much for my tastes, but it still works.

Anxious to see the brown leathers...

As far as I know, O'Neille, based on the research I've done, this is the only official state tartan for Arizona. This is about the most information I could find from several different Google searches.
'The "Arizona State Tartan" was officially recognized in December, 1995 by a proclamation by the Governor. Colors in the Arizona tartan are green, tan, white, red, black, yellow, and azure, all significant to the state's history. Many Arizona citizens were involved in creating this newest symbol of our State with the common goal of celebrating a part of our Scottish heritage.'
At some point, I'll probably get down to the Secretary of States office to get a copy of the Arizona Administrative Register that has the Governor's proclamation in it. Unfortunately, the online archives of the Register only go back to 1999 at this time.

Also, it wasn't easy to find the Arizona State Tartan in tartan registries. This registry (http://www.district-tartans.com/), thankfully posted on Matt Newsome's website (www.albanach.org), was the only place I could find it. And as you'll see under the sample, it states that this tartan was designed by the Caledonian Society of Arizona, the same group that organizes the annual Highland Games the last weekend of February here in the Phoenix area. So, it should be fun wearing this kilt to the next Games & see if any of the Society folks recognize it!

I agree. Maybe turquoise instead of blue and a light red or orange. That’s what I see when I think of Arizona.

Still, I like the looks of that Tartan. Might need to put that one on my list.
