Jewish Tartan

[gilmore]

A bit of both, really.
I knew a few Jewish Gordons with whom I went to school and few who just wore the Gordon tartan because it was pretty much accepted as a tartan that a lot of the local Jewish boys wore.
And I can honestly say, none of the Gordons I went to school with who were not Jewish ever has a problem with it.

Arlen,

Thanks very much for the info.

Some of the various stories of the Jewish connection, if any, to the Gordon clan and name are gone over a bit in this earlier thread on Jewish tartans: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/j...ghlight=jewish
Some are obviously fanciful, some could be closer to the truth, and some are indeed true.

Did/do the Jewish Glaswegians you know wear kilts and kippot in the usual Gordon tartan (mostly dark green and dark blue with yellow overstripe) or do/did they more often wear dress Gordon tartan (white background with dark green stripes and yellow overstripe), or both?

Were/are there other tartans that were/are popular with Jewish Glaswegians?
