Airmen - Beware of Sportkilt!

[Barb T]

For quite awhile, the US AIr Force Tartan was listed as "unofficial" (and was actually known as the Lady Jane tartan). But it's now listed on the STA as "U.S. Air Force Reserve Pipe Band Tartan" - don't know when that changed. In fact, Strathmore (the only mill that currently weaves it, and only in 10 oz) still lists it as unofficial. So, maybe that's part of the source of the confusion. There's also another tartan listed in STA as "U.S. 2001 Air Force", which is similar but has a green stripe instead of gold.

Anyway, here's a close-up of our daughter's kilt in US Air Force tartan. It's a beautiful tartan! The kilt in the pics is in 16 oz (Dalgliesh custom weave).



and how it looks pleated to the stripe:
