    Just a thought, but wasn't there already a firefighter tartan?

    Anyway, it's a pretty nice tartan. Thanks for designing it. The 3-4-3 design is great. The green and gold seems a bit strange to me. Yes, historically the Irish have been very involved in firefighting history, but if you look at the names of the FDNY members who perished on 9/11, you'll seem many ethnicities included.


    If you're interseted in donating a percentage to charity consider MDA. The IAFF, and locals are very devoted to this cause, and I'm sure it'd be appreciated.

    True . . but, it's to honor the history of the Fire Service (which includes it's beginnings) and those braves souls that serve in the ranks. Not to mention, to add a memorial to those 343 lives lost in 9/11.

    As for a charity, I have one that I spend most of my time volunteering for . . Crusade for Children. Our Fire Department has been a big contributor for supplying members to help collect for the organization.
