Family and Universal Tartans Only?!

[Ancienne Alliance]

First of all, I agree with your sentiments about not wanting to wear tartans that aren't connected to your family. I do think a lot of people choose tartans that have a family connection, even though they don't bear the family/clan surname.

How about a little poll here ?

Exactly my point in my previous message.

Yeah you beat me to it by mere seconds...maybe minutes.

And just to clarify: the clans do not have an "official seal" -- you are thinking of the arms of the chief, from which comes the clansman's badge -- the badge contains the crest of the chief's arms.

But, I agree with what you're saying.

Seal, crest, badge. Toe-mate-os, Toe-mawt-oes. ;)

Great minds think alike, eh?

These clan tartans, many at least, are now quite old. In regard to the Drummond example, they've now been wearing this tartan for 186 years. In my book, that's a pretty long time.

Hmmm...interesting idea. How do I go about that? Or do I let a mod do it?

I think the following would be good:
What Tartans Will you wear?

My clan tartan, and no other.
My clan tartan and universal tartans. No tartans of any other clan.
Tartans to which I have a connection (family, military, region, etc.)
Any tartan I wish to wear.

PV. Acrylic; I always get those muddled.

There's at least one other option, which is the one I follow:

Tartans to which I have a connection (family, military, region, etc.)

Added. I figured that may fall under the Clan and Universal option, however, I can see a difference in military.

Although, in a way, the military is like a clan. It's certainly the only "clan" to which I have sworn loyalty.
