    USA Kilt w/ Eagle???

    Someone yesterday mentioned to me that there is a United States Tartan out there in Red/White/Blue that when it's pleated it will make a Shape of an eagle in the back. Does anyone know if this is true or not? It's sounds unlikely, but who knows. If it is true, does anyone have a picture of it? Thanks!

    The only thing I've seen that even remotely resembles that is the Great Seal of America Kilt, and that's not a built-up image in the way the Saltire kilt is.

    Interesting find, Mr. Mac,

    Don't think I'd seen that one before.

    For the lazy, like me:


    Best regards,

    That's a pretty cool kilt. I wish they included a picture of what it looks like from behind also. Thanks MacDougall for the info!

    The apron looks nice but I'd imagine the back would look a bit rough with only pieces of the seal showing on various pleats Even pleated to the stripe, you would still only see the wing tips across the back.

    I think I'd also prefer it to be in Navy blue with red and white stripes instead.

    I know, I'm pretty picky

    It's made exclusively by House of Edgar for retailers (like me or kiltstore or whoever). When they make the kilts up, they pleat it to the stripe.
