    The blue and white for for the saltire (Xmarks the Scot), but I don't know where the gold came in. Sure looks nice though

    Matt you did a great job.

    I thought it was for the colors of our zeppelin and our clan badge?



    I heartily agree that Matt designed a beautiful tartan.

    Cheers

    Thanks Matt,

    What a great color tweak Gordon made. For me, the dark blue is the core color.

    Was struck by the fact that the tartan evolved from cooperation and contributions between Hank, Matt, Steve, and Gordon.

    Two Americans and Two Canadians...okay one ex-pat....but even that makes it such a "friendship blend" of a tartan - International at its birth then spreading World wide.

    Blues for the oceans that touch our shores, gray for the cloudy skys of Scotland, yellow for the gold it takes to buy kilts and accessories, white for the stunned look on people's faces when they see kilts worn outside a pipe band or whisky bottle label.
