    Very nice. I'd wear it.
    Congrats!


    So how long before you have a kilt in this?

    Nice looking tartan! The idea of an official state tartan seems to be catching on in popularity, Mississippi just officially named theirs 2 or 3 years ago. I'll try to post pics.

    Very nice! Now we just have to get Michigan on board...we need a state tartan, too! Hopefully, our good Wisconsin neighbors will influence us in this regard

    Beautiful tartan Greg!

    Not sure about the Balmoral though Grant - a little geometric?

    I think I am going to start chasing my alma mater (St Andrews) to go for an official tartan!

    Nice! I LIVE in Minnesota, but my heart still looks toward Wisconsin.

    As someone who is pushing the City of New York to accept officially the tartan ALREADY designed for us , I appreciate your efforts and applaud you.

    I only know of two people that own a kilt in this tartan, but more are being made. It was pushed by the Milwaukee St. Andrews Society and Clan Young (who is headquartered in Milwaukee). Last summer, at the Milwaukee Highland Games, they had a raffle for a tank made in the Wisconsin tartan, which I unfortunately did not win.

    But luckily, there is such a big demand for the Wisconsin tartan among the Society and other Scots that they keep weaving it, thus keeping the price down.

    Don't forget that Matt, Barb & Kathy all can do custom orders -- that was how I was able to order my Iowa tartan kilt.
