I hope I tagged this image right, but this is the Jewish tartan I have been looking at. I really like it, quite a lot, and what's more it represents something that I am very close to.

I understand that if you are Jewish you are automatically entitled to wear the Gordon tartan. Just a thought. You may find that it is more readily available and cheaper.

I forgot to add on the slavic angle that there is a Serbian band called Orthodox Celts that play mainly traditional Irish music. They have a lot of videos on YouTube and are quite good. Nothing to do with choosing a tartan, but well worth a listen.

Somebody please tell me the history of this. Is it really so?

Just a suggestion.

I have a friend who has a Polish/Jewish mother and an Irish father and was born in a German transit camp in 1945. I hope he doesn't ask for a tartan. he has'nt yet, but then again, I am sure we can find something if he does. He never knew his father so was brought up in the UK by his mother who is a devout Jew.

Welcome to the Xmarks clan!

I think the best advice you can get is to continue doing what you're already doing: browsing this site. Here you will find most of the available true information about the kilt and even some of the fantasy (clearly identified as fantasy!). Xmarks is a marvellously helpful community; I'm sure you'l enjoy it.

Best wishes from Columbia in Howard County.

Food you thought: USA Kilts has made to measure casual kilts which are reasonable in price with the advantage of verifying your measurements before sinking a lot of money into an expensive wool kilt. The USA Kilt is made of PV, which is washable and easy to care for.

My first USA Kilt let me know, I needed to make some slight measurement adjustments (waist & length) before having a wool kilt made of $300 worth of custom tartan.

In addition to that 1st kilt and my custom wool kilt, I now own 2 more USA Casual kilts. My USA Casuals are for everyday wear when driving and being out and about. I highly recommend them. The Gordon tartan mentioned in this thread is available from USA Kilts as well as tartan choices marked with ** as "universal" tartans that can be worn by anyone. FYI, you can have the option of having the USA Kilts logo patch sewn on or left off the front apron.

Just my 2 cents for what it is worth. Good lick on your choice, welcome to X Marks and enjoy your kilted days ahead.

I too have both a casual and a woolen kilt from USA Kilts and am well pleased with both. I recommend them.
