top band of kilt

[kilted redleg]

First let me start out by saying I'm not a kilt maker! There is a kiltmaker on you tube named Robert Macdonald who covers all aspects of kilt making and will tell what the different color bands are for.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNL6m1-GaRk Green signifies military though if you are a veteran and go to him for a kilt ex. Seaforth Highlanders and served in that unit he'll give you a green band on your kilt. He covers the tartan band on a kilt he made and how hard it is some times to line up the tartan.
That said any kilt maker worth their salt - Barb T, Steve Ashton, Robert Macdonald et al; will make sure the tartan band on top will match the kilt perfectly.
That said as a US Army veteran if I had a regimental kilt made I think I would ask for a black top waist band.
Hope this helps.
