I believe the US Coast Guard kilt is an official uniform item for the US Coast Guard pipe band, making the tartan sanctioned, if only for a small group. I learned this when my local Scottish American Military Society (I didn't use the acronym ha-ha), piper had to get official permission to where his Coast Guard kilt for a Society event, since it is a uniform item. He is in the USCG pipe band.
