Cultural Appropriation?

[Liam]

I just want to thank everyone again for all the thoughtful replies. It's proving very helpful.

It's sounding to me like this:

Registering a tartan = almost certainly not appropriative.
Using your own tartan for various non-kilt products = not appropriative.
Wearing / encouraging members to wear a non-tartan kilt = probably not appropriative.
Wearing /encouraging members to wear a tartan kilt = potentially appropriative (with the standard followup conversation of where we draw the line between inappropriate cultural appropriation and normal and healthy cross-cultural influences).

What do y'all think? Could I take a (more detailed, of course) consensus like that back to the board?

(More discussion is, of course, encouraged. I'm not going to start writing anything up for several days at least.)

Registering your tartan... Perhaps to provide a record of its details for the future
I see no issue with non-kilt use of tartan, ie ties, hand bags, scarves, blankets, wraps, women's dresses, vests, hats, capes etc.
There is no cultural significance in a non-tartan kilt so fill your boots
Wear a tartan kilt with respect, unless you are part of the "tartan army on manoeuvres" as Jock Scot puts it, then traditional rules are relaxed.
Just my thoughts....
Cheers!
