Thanks for the great responses. I just got back home from a weeks visit in Boise. I am now leaning toward the Idaho tartan for my first kilt although I still need about six months to get my weight where I want it. Here is a link to an article about the tartan. I thought brown for the high desert was a good choice but I guess you can’t represent Idaho without using the “P” word.

...brown for the potatoes? That's awesome!! So, anyways, here's my thoughts on the subject. I'm from Colorado. I wear the Colorado state tartan with a lot of pride. It's your home. A kilt in your clan or family tartan represents one thing only- your heritage. A kilt in your state tartan, on the other hand, represents your pride in both your home and your heritage! So to me, it's a no brainer, which is why I got the Colorado state years before I got one in my clan tartan. Oh, and were I from Idaho, I would gladly wear that tartan- it's really nice! It would killer in a box pleated kilt! Although I personally would have it pleated to the darker colored fields, as opposed to the earlier suggestion of the white. The white would flash when you walk, which I think would look really cool. Just my thoughts though- our boy Hothir Ethelnor can advise you a lot better than I can. He made my box pleated kilt for me and did a bang up job for a great price.
