Okay IMHO I think that the back and forth over tartan copyrights are better handled elsewhere(ie PM's) or better yet not at all.
Donnie hope you enjoy your CMT kilt and post a few pics soon.

But then again I am just a lowly old retired grunt , who can be a little cranky myself

From the Scottish Tartan Authority's notes on the Confederate Memorial Tartan:

Notes:
Designed by Dr. Philip Smith in 1995. Grey is the colour of the Confederate States of America. The fields represent the Confederate Army in line of battle-- light blue for infantry, flanked by red for artilllery and yellow for outriding cavalry. The red field represents the Confederate flag in true proportions. Registered with TECA. to Phil Smith on 10-08-96. Sample in STA Johnston Collection labelled "Sons of Confederate Veterans". D C Dalgliesh of Selkirk has exclusive rights to the weaving in wool (Jan 2005). Available in cotton from Peter Wilson in SC, USA. Cotton sample from Lochcarron.

Here it is! I personally think the grey does look a little blue, but, I like it!

Colour in the tartan is a wee bit washed out by the bright sun, but looks good from where I'm standing. Congrats on another handsome lookin' kilt!

God save Dixie!
