I just want to expand my collection, and thought I would look at other and collateral branches for those ideas!

I will post on James Brown's hometown when I get home....

If you want to wait to spend several hundred dollars on a Brown tartan kilt until you know with more certainty which Brown tartan would be more appropriate, yet want another kilt in a related tartan now, you might take a look at the possibility of district tartans from the town, county or other location where your James Brown hailed from.

(Come to think of it, wasn't it North Augusta, South Carolina? I feel good...)
