    Does Anyone recognize this tartan?

    Hi,
    A friend purchased this lovely female kilt in a thrift shop, she would like to know what the tartan is -- if it is anything other than a plaid. Does anyone recognize it?

    Thanks!

    This should be on the Tartan thread rather than the general kilt one I think.

    Can't work it out from the picture. Can you post a better quality one.

    Yes, I am fairly certain that is the Royal Air Force tartan.
    I have a kilt in Royal Air Force tartan and I have just been comparing it against your photo.

    Aye, no red, as far as I can see.

    I thinks it's just a generic "tartan" tartan, but nice all the same!

    I can see the red stripes in the photo from the Original Poster quite clearly on my monitor.
    I am quite sure this is the Royal Air Force tartan.

    The more I look at it, I think you're right about the red stripes!

    I'll be darned!

    I have no problem seeing the red stripes in the image. Unless a close-up photo shows otherwise, I'm fairly certain this is the RAF tartan.
