"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

That is a nice looking tartan. Is it readily available? Never seen it before.

That is very nice. I'm also QUITE the fan of the Confederate Memorial tartan. I have direct lines to a confederate soldier. That one's on my list. But, not in the 11 oz. wool Alexis has on hand. I'd have to have the 16 oz special weave. Some day.

I believe this is the kilt Matt made for me--the tartan had to be specially woven to order. The photos show the single strap on the right side, but not the left one, as it is inside the kilt--a feature he discovered from examination of an original kilt of the 79th New York Highlanders, a pre-Civil War militia regiment called into Federal service. Starting with First Bull Run, they served until the end of the war; the extent of their wearing of the kilt provokes argument to this day. No question that at least some did wear tartan trews, until they wore out; then the remnants were used to make the trouser stripes for NCO's on the issue sky blue trousers.

Those are both very nice.
