Tartan Help - Probably way to much info, but now I gotta zero in on this option

RodF, I think you may be putting yourself into a mental half-Nelson on this. By the way, I live in a universe of self-induced mental half-Nelsons. Anyway, when it comes to the tartan, just pick the one you like or the one that would mean the most to you. I know it sounds too easy or over simplified, but I think that may be the best way to go. Filter out the noise and just have fun with it.

As a side note, I am going through my own particular heck in filtering to get to four tartans from about thirty. I went with three so-called universals and one named that is significant to my family name's history. Part of my criteria was based on attaining variation of color across the entire collection I will end up with (6). I already have a Taylor woolly and the unofficial Air Force in synthetic.

LOL, oh my you did see the issue about being an attorney right!

Nice to meet another USAF vet here too!

I guess the USAF dominates this thread. My father was a career full bird Colonel and Command Pilot in S.A.C.

As a wrestler I can relate, the anecdote for a half Nelson is to look away, reach behind your head and peel the offending hand off, post it, sit out and turn in. I agree, get outta there and turn inward for the answer, which ever your most passionate about will always be the right choice.
