Not the official Canadian tartan? I say we rise up as Canadians with righteous indignation and have a letter-writing campaign!

:ootd:

It was my first tartan kilt too. As long as Mr. Harper doesn't prorogue yet again it might just make it this time...

It was designed in 1964, it's long about time it were made official after 46 years, then perhaps after 43 years the other Maple Leafs might be recognized by Lord Stanley.

I found a pic of the same tartan along with the crest of their pipes and drums but the image is too huge for the page

Here's a link instead:

That is the RCMP badge, and not just for the pipe band.

Thanks cajunscot. My bad, I got thrown off by the label "pipe band" in the image and didn't do my homework!

I hope everyone who has been following this thread will go vote on a poll I created about F&K's tartan weights:
