New Blood (Kilter)

...I am hoping to get the Air Force Kilt (http://www.sportkilt.com/product/135...-Kilt-(U).html)
...

Sport Kilt's US Air Force tartan is NOT the actual USAF tartan. The tartan Sport Kilt uses appears to be the US Forces Thurso tartan.

Here is the real USAF tartan: http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/qRe...%20Air%20Force

Here is the Thurso tartan: http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/qRe...hString=THURSO

Next question...any particular issue with me wearing "other clan's colors". At the moment, I have picked up what was immediately available to me. So if someone asks "is that your family colors" of course my answer is no....any guidance with that?

heh, As mentioned upthread there are no tartan police and many members here will wear what they please just as historical highlanders would have. That said, some non tartan enthusiasts (read obsessives?) will probably look at you a little sideways if you wear patterns that you do not have or 'feel' connected to and if that would bother you then I suggest you stick to those tartans which you do feel or can claim a connection to and wear them with pride. That is what, I would say, the vast majority of tartan wearers do.
