I would like to see the American Heritage pleated to the black or the red ...
An USAKilt in American Heritage ... it's an idea that bears thinking about.

We've been AB-SO-FRICKIN'-LOOTLY NUTS today (just did measurements for 5 jackets... all custom) and 4 Premiers. I won't be able to post pics of the different pleating for a while.

Perhaps someone with a few spare minutes and "photoshop" could cut/paste the pics in different ways to show different pleating? Not trying to "skirt" my duties, but with all the work we have coming up (107 premade casuals for a festival in Feb on TOP of standard orders), I know I won't have time to do it anytime soon.

BTW... Douglas Mod will soon be a choice for "Off The Rack" casuals.

Not Photoshop, but GIMP:

Peated to the red doesn't look too bad, either. I think you'll be hearing from me soon, Rocky.

The colors for the German Heritage are the same as the German National tartan, although the pattern is different.

I do like how the red/white/blue stripe looks with the German American.

The German Heritage / German National are similar colors, but different.

I didn't like the bright red of the German National, so in mine, I used a Dark red (with a "red border"). Also, the gold in mine is a dark yellow, vs. a bright yellow.
