Re: Surprise with the US Air Force Reserve Pipe Band Tartan

The US Air Force Reserve Pipe Band tartan is actually quite different from the Strathmore tartan. It has an extra medium dark blue stripe between the narrow red stripe and the light blue, and the double dark blue stripes are wider and more widely spaced than in the Strathmore version.
As I said, it's a mystery. Was it recorded wrong, or is it being woven wrong?
