    Thanks for all the input sounds like it’s fine to order her a serape in Macdonald modern while I wear the ancient colours. My wife is of pure Ukrainian ancestry so she has no clan tartan. This is the first time that she has indicated an interest in wearing a tartan at all other than some fashion skirts or pants that are found in regular stores. So I’ll take the small win.

    David, yes she does have a clan tartan. She's married to you, so she's a member of your clan!

    Quick question, then back to the thread’s subject. I’ve seen the term serape used several times on XMTS. As the roughly accepteddefinition in our part of the world is:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serape

    Is there a proper Scottish term for said accessory item?
