online pics of pleated to stripe, red and blue tartan

Hello all

A couple years ago I remember seeing some pics online of a red and blue tartan pleated to the stripe that showed 3 very different possible looks from the same tartan, just depending on how it was pleated. Anyone have an idea of what that site may be?

As I recall, the Buchanan does that quite well. Check out Matt Newsomes blog on the subject Click Here

Thanks for replying. I am looking for a site that used a length of fabric just gently folded to show 3 distinct patterns from the same fabric. All 3 styles were shown in 1 picture, and I'm pretty sure the fabric was almost all red and blue.
I am considering an "american" type fabric for fire/police funerals and wondering if I can use 1 tartan that will be seen as "relevant" to both fire and police, some red and blue both, but I also want a nice tank that is pleated to the stripe. Just wanted to get a look at the pic for ideas.
The USAK American Heritage I also like alot.

American Heritage, you say?

And here's the thread of my PV (USAK by Rocky) and wool (self-made).

Yep, I like that tartan. Looks great, thanks for the pics.

I'm guessing you're thinking of Nick Fiddes' ebook, Kilts & Tartan Made Easy. The tartan used appears to be the Parker tartan.

That was going to be my guess. He's got a pic in there of the three different pleatings.

That was it, thanks!

I don't usually plug my own products outside of the USAK category, but since this is directly related, I wanted to make sure you knew they were available:

Also, the American Heritage tartan shown in the 2 pics above:

Thanks Rocky

I am looking at each of those as well, looking for a piping tartan that would be somewhat relevant to police and fire. I think the US National would probly be pretty close.

update: From the pics above and others, I just ordered a USAK casual American Heritage pleated to the white stripe.
