Firefighter's Memorial Tartan

[RockyR]

I ordered the material yesterday, so it should be about 2 months for the material to arrive.

It's going to be in 13 oz wool. We MAY eventually do it in PV, but we don't have plans for that yet.

Kelly and Rocky, that is a great looking tartan (I'm partial to the reds).
Also thanks for your recognition of the men and women who undertake this dangerous profession. I've worked with many firefighters over the years and have found them to be some of the finest people I have met.
Here in Germany there are a lot of small volunteer fire departments. It is a highly regarded honor to be a member of the local fire company.

I may have to talk to you and see if its possible to make a pipers plaid as well as a kilt for me since I am now basicly the only "fire piper" in the area, I have been doing the memorials for firefighters.... so far no LODD's but sad that they have passed on none the less...

A sharp looking tartan for sure.

One of the biggest regrets of my besotted life is that I didn't find the fire service until I was 55. What a great family they are. Put in five years volunteering on the Phoenix Fire Departments crisis wagons.

Wool huh.?...hmmmmm.

With the fire-resistant qualities of wool, would any other material be as appropriate?

Its great how much thought went in to designing this tartan. Incorporating 343 in the design is very moving to me.

Does anyone have a picture of someone wearing this kilt? (not the one on the site)
I would really like to see it.

Being a long time Firefighter, it is the next on my list

Not sure of any other photos???

Unfortunately, we don't have any other pics of the FFM kilts "in action" other than the few on our site. We were promised pics by lots of different customers but they have yet to materialize.

Just a thought, but wasn't there already a firefighter tartan?

Anyway, it's a pretty nice tartan. Thanks for designing it. The 3-4-3 design is great. The green and gold seems a bit strange to me. Yes, historically the Irish have been very involved in firefighting history, but if you look at the names of the FDNY members who perished on 9/11, you'll seem many ethnicities included.


If you're interseted in donating a percentage to charity consider MDA. The IAFF, and locals are very devoted to this cause, and I'm sure it'd be appreciated.

Yes . . however, USA Kilt's FF Memorial is allot nicer looking .

True . . but, it's to honor the history of the Fire Service (which includes it's beginnings) and those braves souls that serve in the ranks. Not to mention, to add a memorial to those 343 lives lost in 9/11.

As for a charity, I have one that I spend most of my time volunteering for . . Crusade for Children. Our Fire Department has been a big contributor for supplying members to help collect for the organization.
