"Oren Peterson" tartan ref. #10127

Thanks to all of you who gave advice regarding the original design and to those of you who gave me the encouragement to not only have this tartan created (and made into a great fitting and looking kilt by Matt Newsome) but to also have it registered.

As some may remember in previous posts concerning this tartan design, this was done as a way of honoring my late grandfather and his love of our family's history and the mountains he called home.

I have registered this as a surname tartan and it is of course unrestricted. If you have a connection to the surname or the details of the tartans' representation, I'd be honored by any who choose to wear it. Even if you just like the 'look'. Please consider having Matt Newsome as your kilt maker. Not only did he assist with this, but the man for which this tartan is named had a special relationship to Franklin, NC.

Thanks fellas,

If you've ever thought about doing something like this, I recommend going through with it. Its not just the finished product, but I learned so much through the process.

Congratulations on the registration. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in your original post, didn't you state this tartan was being considered for recognition by a clan?
