On another forum, a gentleman has written up his new adventure www.tartans4africa.co.za . He is located in South Africa and weaves African tartans. I have been intrigued with his website and the story he posted. Enough such that I sent him a PM to better understand these new African tartans and whether they have been officially recognized. James is originally from the UK and was a piper in the Household Guard and played at several big events. I have not gotten a reply yet on my questions so I can't share his response. I know he has a picture of one of the company directors with Desmond Tutu. It would be interesting to see kilts not only transcend ethnicity but race as well.
