Law Enforcement kilts

[mddock58]

It would be funny being able to identify an agent because of the Tartan they were wearing!

Don't look now, but there's an InterPol agent over there!

Great Idea guys! I think that would get quite a positive response from the "Boys in Blue".

No, Really!!!

Worn the braclets never the tartan. Only kidding. Many law inforcement agencies have there own colour guard or pipe and drum. What tartan do they wear.

It may just be one of those things you'd need to shell out the money for worsted wool. It would be nicer anyway, and being an "LEO" is important to you right? Just my thoughts...

To the IPA, FBI, and RCMP, I'll add:
US Border Patrol
New York State Police
New York State Troopers
Connecticut State Police
Michigan State Police
California Highway Patrol

I just did a search for "police" at the Kilt Store, and 20 matches (some duplicates to the above) came up. There are tartans out there.

As for an universal LEO tartan, I can't see it happening. It's a nice idea, but some of us are so territorial about our jurisdictions that the idea of all of us wearing a single tartan would be rejected out of hand.
Or to put it a different way, I can't picture a ceremonial occasion where a US Customs officer, a NYS Trooper, and Lewiston NY PD all wore half the same uniform. Border Patrol would be standing off to the side in his tartan laughing at us.

And let's not forget the US National Park Service - scary? Perhaps...

[Ruanaidh]

Unfortunately the National Park Service has nary a tartan, neither official or unofficial.

I am a former Fed, and I'd dig a reasonably priced universal LEO tartan kilt. The international tartan pictured looked nice.

Back in the 60s when I did the cop thing I wore blue in both cities. Out here in the boonies the guys wear browns...don't see any brown in that international tartan. Don't know if it really matters, just seemed the guys in brown (and greens) were left out.

Guess if all the various uniform colors were mixed in the tartan would be too busy with color to make sense.

I really like the look of the kilted cops I've seen so far. Their police shirt and duty belt worn with a tartan kilt.

This was at last year's games in Flagstaff, AZ

That's a great look! I'd be tickled if The Man looked like that 'round here!

You can honor both the tartan and the profession.

Just my two pence...
