A US Tartan

[Brian K]

None of these tartams are the flag, or even part of the flag. Moreover, many national flags are red, white and blue, e.g. Britain, the Netherlands, Russia, etc. In fact, I understand that the first US flag was made from material originally intended for making British flags, and that is why you have the colours that you have.

I don't think AFS, a reasonable fellow in my experience, is referring to any and all red white and blue tartans, just the ideas that suggest that a kilt in said colors might be interesting if there were definite elements resembling the canton and stripes of the U.S. flag. That was the reason I was sceptical in my first post. The more it looks like an actual flag wrapped around a person the more it seems in bad taste to me.
