Anothers tartan

[MacLowlife]

The Thompson Camel Tartan is registered with the STA as #2421. It is dated circa 1960 and is listed as a fashion, not a clan Tartan. Due to its similarity to the Burberry it is often seen being used as a knock-off for Burberry.

It can be seen everywhere. So would suggest that very few would regard wearing Thompson Camel as infringing on a Clan.

In light of this information and the discussion regarding the Thompsons that has been posted since, I would suggest that the OP is mildly mistaken. I believe we have established clearly that Thompson Camel is not "Anothers Tartan" at all. As such, it is available to anyone who wants to wear it, even those who are strictly observant about clan tartans.

Wear it and say what you will- I know people who could stretch their explanation through dinnertime: You can call it Thompson, you can call it camel, You don't have to call it Ray ...

Hahahaha! Brilliant (beer) commerical from the 1970's.

I didnt mean to cause commotion, but i also in generality asked about using anothers tartan.

I think the question of wearing another's tartan is a good one- I just don't think it applies to Thompson Camel. And I didn't know that until reading much of this thread. Thanks for starting it.
