On principle I also agree with you Woot22, but then again, those are NOT 'military' tartans, but privately/comercially made using the branch name or inspired by them.

Something else to consider, this board has members frm all over the world, who may or may not have affinity for any particular country so called 'military' tartans. And some people who simply like a particular tartan, whether it is a 'military tartan' or not.

And there are some others who have served in other countries military forces, others have not.

I have seen and noticed an increase of 'military oriented' topics in this forum lately and it inevitably ends with someone's feelings being sore.

So, I will end just as I began my first reply, unless something is officially issued as a military clothing item, I personally wouldn't have problems wearing it.

Offenses are more often perceived by the receiver, not actually made by the supposed offender.

Nothing further to add from my side on this, simply wish these military questions were either reduced or the people considered the varied audience of this website.

Good evening all.
