Law Enforcement kilts

**Riverkilt** · 27th January 07, 06:19 PM

Back in the 60s when I did the cop thing I wore blue in both cities. Out here in the boonies the guys wear browns...don't see any brown in that international tartan. Don't know if it really matters, just seemed the guys in brown (and greens) were left out.

Guess if all the various uniform colors were mixed in the tartan would be too busy with color to make sense.

I really like the look of the kilted cops I've seen so far. Their police shirt and duty belt worn with a tartan kilt.

This was at last year's games in Flagstaff, AZ

That's a great look! I'd be tickled if The Man looked like that 'round here!

For the boys in brown:
Weathered Ulster

For the boys in blue:
Ramsay

You can honor both the tartan and the profession.

Just my two pence...

Brilliant AnimalK,

I wore the blue and I already have a Ramsay tartan kilt.

Hmmm, a law enforcement oriented kilt pin...?? Badges were too heavy and had to turn them in when I moved on.

I'm not a cop, but I think this is a great idea. Not sure about international (like the Interpol tartan), but what about a tartan for the Fraternal Order (in USA)? That would apply to all cops, brown or blue uniform. Right?

Count me in. Been in blue 8 1/2 years, hence the screen name (just a little twisted humor

). I think a general all inclusive law enforcement tartan would be great. What a way to show a sense of pride and brotherhood across agencies and jurisdictions.

Count me in! I've been in blue for 6 1/2 now and would absolutely be in the market.

I like 3 & 4. Nice work, and thanks for the reference to Feds, although for some reason I associated us more with grey than blue. (Except the Border Patrol, which callled itself the "Mean Green Machine"

Best regards,

Jake

It's all in the interpretation. I think you're right; gray might be best to signify Staties AND Feds --"the Gray Flannel-Suited G-Man" and all)

The Border Patrol (Of which I was an agent for 5 years) already has its own tartan. They can claim the green in mine if they wish...
