Kilt-weight PA tartan can be found here:

When will someone (who knows what they're doing, unlike myself!) design a New York State tartan?!

[O'Callaghan]

I rather like the Maryland tartan, but it joins a long list of custom order tartans that I am unlikely to get, including St. George, Arsenal Football Club and sadly, Callaghan.

Blue and gold, I would guess. Maybe mix in a lighter blue for the bluebird (official bird) and some sort of red for the rose (official flower)?

Did anyone on the board have a kilt made in the PA tartan? Pics would be great. It is a good looking tartan, and I am from PA. Too bad they didn't make it official.

I believe it is official now. See below:

This bill is still in committee as of today so it is not law until passed by both house and senate. I have to look these things up all the time at work...

as far as state tartans go, I'm quite partial to the New Hampshire tartan
