    I am not of any sort of Scottish descent and am looking for a kilt. I figure the best way to find one is to ask those who know a lot about tartans for reccomondations, so a few things about me that I feel are significant.

    My last name is Butcher.
    I am of English, Swedish, Denmark and German descent.
    I was raised in Pennsylvania (USA, this seems to be an international forum), I saw they have their own tartan.
    I live in Ohio.
    I was in the Army, not interested in the Army tartan.
    I was in the infantry.
    Specifically the 22nd Infantry Regiment, seriously doubt they have their own tartan.
    I have the Combat Infantryman's Badge, if there was a CIB tartan that would be awesome.
    My primary hobby is powerlifting.
    A developing 2nd hobby is highland games, I wouldn't wear the SAAA tartan for the same reason I don't wear Hawian shirts.
    I seem to think the tartans with dull green colors look best.
    I keep wanting to type tarten, is there a tartan for people who do that?
    Most of my family back a few generations and beyond were farmers.

    If I think of anything else I will add it, thanks in advance for the advice.
    Welcome Butcher!
    I too am a blue braid, from the 101st.

    Look at Lochcarron's http://www.lochcarron.com/stromesw.htm and DC Dalgliesh's weathered/reproduction tartans. They are supposed to look like a tartan that has been buried in a peat bog for the last 200 years. I love the colors, they are faded, earth tones, and dont hurt your eyes.

    Enjoy the kilt!
