Sweet.

I'm loving the kilt pin I got at the museum, by the way

Matt (and all),

Apparently, red garments are the symbol of warrior-dom in Masai culture:

Thats a very interesting article. I've seen lots of pictures of Masai,yet I never thought of the cloth as tartan.

I think that first one would make a nice kilt.

The tartan in the first picture looks remarkably like "the American" tartan:

The things one learns on this forum, thanks Matt, between you and all the others I know more and more each day about things I never did before. Alas that is the way it should be, so thank you again for sharing that wonderful blog and pictures.

Interesting, I also have a sort of 'tartan' lungi from my time in India. The men there wear tartan (or a kind of check).

Tartan is for everyone, not just the Scots!!
