American National Tartan !?!?!

Retro Red,

The American National tartan.com website is run by Houston Kiltmakers at kiltmakers.com.

The House of Edgar states this about their American National tartan: "Specially created tartan in patriotic colours, designed in conjunction with Wm Houston and available under licence from The House of Edgar."

So, one would think they are the same tartan. Furthermore, if you look closely at the sample swatch of the AN tartan at American National tartan.com website ( http://americannationaltartan.com/tartans.asp ), you will see that it appears to have a green stripe.

My monitor shows a green stripe also, so would have to agree with you.

Pass the salsa, it'll help the crow go down...

I went to Arizona Kilts today to pick up my new kilt pin & asked Graeme what mill his American National kilts come from & it is the House of Edgar. He then brought out a plaid in the American National & sure enough there is green in it. It's very subtle & you've got to look close, but it's there. For me, at a distance the green disappears into the blue.

Sorry for the confusion.

Here I'd worn the thing a couple of times & didn't even notice the green, which either says a lot about my powers of observation or how subdued the green is.

Anyway, I still think it's a great looking tartan & wouldn't mind having a kilt made with it, someday.
