Any of the rabble here wearing US state tartan kilts?
I wear Roxburgh Red to honor my family's Scottish heritage. Eventually I want to expand my kilt wardrobe and have considered the Kentucky tartan as an option:

Here's one of Piperdh and myself in the Carolina tartan, official state tartan for North and South Carolina. Quite a few kilts in this tartan out there...

Cordially,

David

Not yet, but I'm planning on it! The next kilt I'm buying will be in the Texas Bluebonnet tartan.

Nice!

I may go for a Roxburgh Red modern before I jump on a state tartan -but one day...

I would love to wear the Connecticut tartan, but since it's a special order weave I don't see it happening anytime soon.
Stupid, stupid supply and demand...

Same here. I would love the Utah tartan. However, I would like to see one first.

I won't have to post a pic since it's here above.

I wear the Carolina as well. I live in Virginia but my family has been in the Carolinas since the 1740's.

I'd like to get one in Pennsylvania tartan one day as well.

I proudly wear the Iowa state tartan:

See my article here about the tartan and the history behind it.

The California state tartan is handsome, but it's just a slight variation on the Muir (to honor John Muir). A bit disappointing that our huge state, with many talented artists in residence, can't have a completely original design. OTOH, at least John Muir had a nice tartan to his name!
