Time to VOTE for a NY State tartan

[Bob C]

Well, that pretty much leaves you with red, purple, yellow, or black based tartans - none of which say "New York State" to me in any way....

Exactly.

From a kiltmaker's standpoint, the first design is a bit of a nightmare. Lots of stripes that could get lost in pleat taper and nothing that would work well for pleating to the stripe, if someone wanted that.

Thanks for chiming in, Barb. I like the first one, but I design mainly because I enjoy it and have wondered if some of my setts wouldn't actually be impractical to use for kilt making. I can't afford a kilt at the moment, let alone custom woven cloth, and no one else has ever had any of my designs woven, so I've never seen one fashioned into a kilt.

I do hope we have success with our project and you get some customers who want you to help them outfit themselves in a tartan for our state.

I understand you're heading out for Iceland sometime soon. I hope you have a great trip.

Regards,

Brian

I contacted the NY St. Andrews Society, but have not had a response.
