The write up is very enlightening and IMO would be good to have placed in a sticky thread or someplace on Xmarks to help newbies find out more about tartan choice. Also while reading the piece, I realized that I do have a tartan I can wear for a better reason then I like the colors. My wife's family is from County Galway, Ireland which does have a district/county tartan.

I think I just made my decision on what tartan my first real tank will be made from.
