Official All Black Tartan - Surely Not!
Came across this on eBay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-MODE...item43d74f29d6
A plain black five yard kilt in acrylic for £18.99.
Scroll down and the description proudly states:-
"Official tartan of the Scottish Clan Chiefs and by leave of her Majesty, the Queen"

When you posted "All Black," I immediately thought of the New Zealand national rugby team. Your last quoted line above, what does that even mean? Oh, well, another lesson in Ebay caveat emptor!

I'm sure it's news to them. Solid black "tartan" has to go on the same list as "acrylic wool."

Me too. I was thinking the haka would look particularly impressive in a kilt. Ah, well.

Some Maori(s) today wear a wrap that is generic Pasifika. A kilt. They look good, and probably better than their war-state nakedness, for which some haka(s) were performed.

If intending to do a haka in a kilt, be sure to select one with good deep pleats each side of the apron, so it has ampleness and also coverage.

My first though was the rugby team as well. An All Blacks tartan sounds like a really cool mix of cultures, but I reckon it would just be an all black kilt, in which case the kilt above would work.

X-Mark advertiser, Stillwater Kilts has an all wool, black option:

The weave creates a tartan like effect. They also have an acrylic version.
