    I remember seeing it, but don't remember what it is called. It has the blue and white from the Israeli flag.
    If there is, I've never heard of such a tartan. There is at least one Russian family that has designed a tartan, the Lermontovs (sic?), I believe. There is also a Bulgarian tartan in honour of an Irishman named O'Mahony who was a well-known expat in Bulgaria.

    I have seen a picture of Jewish Boy Scouts in Glasgow wearing kilts, but I don't think they were in a distinctive "Jewish" tartan.

    Gordon is also recommend for Russians, as a Gordon served with the Tsar's armies, and of course, the MacLean tartan, for Sir Fitzroy MacLean, who spent a good deal of time in Eastern Europe and Russia.

    One could even argue that a Russian could wear the Burns tartan or the Burns check, since the Russians are great admirers of RB.

    Kilteddcossack, is your badge part of your arms, and are they registered with the Russian College of Arms?

    Regards,

    Ah, no. It's simply my own design, and one I favor very much. To be honest, I didn't know there was a Russian Heraldry Society.
    That having been said, I'll look into it, and I'm going to register my tartan and have some nice, box pleat kilts made from it for meself and me foine buckos in the clan (Clan Storm, that is).
    Being of absolutely no noble blood whatsoe'er, I am dubious to say the least about having my badge registered anywhere, and I have no arms (Armigerously speaking, of course).

    Clan de Stein, that's actually kind of funny.
    Never heard of a Jewish Tartan either, but I'll look.
