West Virginia has a state tartan!

[Detroitpete]

I'm of the opinion that I have NO earthly clue as to why I like some tartans over others. I wish I could say I had a formula I went by, or that it was based on some esoteric insight relating to color values, thread counts, symbology and the alignment of the planets when the first string of wool was threaded into place.

All I know is I like what I like. I LOVE this tartan. Perhaps its my idealized memories of a childhood spent at family reunions in West Virginia. Could be the muted colors remind me of a walk through the woods in fall to go flyfishing on a secluded WV trout stream.

As for being 'official', I believe Matt defined this quite clearly.

Here's a lovely WV walk through the woods, near my Grandfather's property on the bank of the Greenbriar:



and the cabin he built there in the 1930's, with my son:



and my Grandfather himself relaxing on the porch of his modern home which he built there in the 1960's



here's my son looking over the New River

Perfect! Thank you for these.
