Might look into the new Wisconsin tartan.

Obviously you're doing things right to be granted an honor like that. Very good for you.

I agree, if you have input for the tartan the WI Tartan looks great.

I'm familiar with the Wisconsin tartan. I know the guy who designed it. He owns the only kilt in that tartan. I like it a lot, I'm just worried about cost.

If you can get the thread counts you could see what Matt Newsome can do for you.

It sort of looks like some kiltmakers specialize in doing "bulk" orders for pipe bands and cut a discoount* for quantity. Of course the question would be how many band members will you end up with? I'd guess that they'd cut a bigger discount for twenty kilts than they would for six.

And please don't forget that your fire department is genuinely entitled to run some fund raisers for such a noble cause. Frankly, organizations here run them at the drop of a hat and for much less worthy endeavours...I'd say that an honor guard is pretty worthy.

*discoount: either a mis-spelling or a Scottish discount...take your pick.

I found a New York Firemens Pipe Band tartan at http://www.tartans.scotland.net/tart...tartan_id=2023

Recorded in May 1966 on th request of the Emeral Society Bagpipe Band, Fire Department, City of New York
