    Yeah, it would be 100% wool. Kosher means that there is no mixing of linen and wool, which is something called shatnes. Some of my wife's family are Orthodox and told me about this.

    Shatnes is a no-no.

    When it rains it pours. Seems like there was others thinking along the same lines, but their Jewish tartan is still in the planning stage:

    While I appreciate Gilmore's views on the historical use of the Gordon tartan, I have no problems with more tartans with a Jewish affiliation being developed, anymore than I do the newly registered tartans produced by USA Kilts.

    The more the merrier.

    Best regards,
