An interesting idea, but way too much white for my tastes. I prefer the American National tartan made by House of Edgar.
It would be too much white for my taste too, but it can't really be avoided if one is going for the red and white stripe effect.
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
I like it. I'd like it even better if the front apron were woven to be just blue with the white stars, and not include any red.
That would be a lot easier to do technically. 6 yards of red and white stripes and a blue star spangled apron on one end.
Perhaps not as interesting.
Perhaps a blue sporran with the stars on it?
