A sharp look for sure. Great you honor the fire service.

Quick observation - the tartan name for the Sport Kilt is "Firefighter" tartan.

Mention it since the thread title is one letter off from the USA Kilts "Firefighter's Memorial" designed by Kelly Stewart and copyrighted by USA Kilts.

Both SportKilt and USA Kilts donate a portion of the proceeds - the former to the National Fallen Firefighters Association and the later to the Leary Firefighters Foundation.

Interesting to read the design ideas.

In both the red is for fire (USA Kilts includes the fire engines too)

for SportKilt the black and gold are for turnouts.

for USA Kilts the black is for the fallen firefighters

SportKilt has white for water

USA Kilts has green and gold for the strong Irish heritage of the fire service.

USA Kilts also adds a 3-4-3 pattern of red thread through the black in honor of the 343 NYC firefighters who died 9/11/01

There's only one answer here - buy one of each!



This is the USA Kilt Firefighters Memorial tartan in their semi-traditional model.

Hmmm, pleats look out of focus in that shot. Lets try another one.
