Orange and Black Tartans?

[OC Richard]

Thing is, some of the red tartans when done in "ancient colours" look pretty darn orange.

Not a middle-of-the-road orange, sure, but sometimes more orange than red.

Which university?

It must be Ohio Northern University.

I went to Oregon State University. A few years ago they had a tartan design contest and adopted an official Oregon State University tartan in the school colors of orange and black.

But they licensed the rights to Pendleton Woolen Mills who only makes scarfs in the university tartan.

Neither Pendleton, or the University, would/could give me permission to have enough cloth woven in the university tartan to have a kilt made. Attorneys run the world, all licensing rights...no mercy for the lone kilt guy.

Probably just as well, with the football season the Beavers are having this year I'd be ashamed to wear it.

The University of Tennessee has a tartan as well.

At the tartan register Father Bill linked you can search by colour: https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/search

The nicest orange and black tartan I found was the MacLachlan (Cheif's Dress) tartan: https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/ta...tails?ref=2585

The nicest orange, balck and white tartasn I found were the Barclay Dress tartan: https://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails?ref=214

Thanks! Those are all beautiful examples!

Does anyone know if the Oklahoma State tartan is available commercially anywhere? That looks like a good prospect.

Thanks for all the suggestions, all! I knew this would be the right place to look!

Blessings,

I got mine from Burnetts and Struth, it was a remnant though, only 2 metres, enough for a box pleated kilt, I don't know if it's something they normally have.

There was some discussion about this in 2011 here: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-tartan-64365/

So, I contacted the folks at Celtic Croft, and they suggested the MacGregor Rob Roy Ancient tartan.

Online, in some places it looks red, while in others it looks orange. I've ordered a swatch just to see.
