The high school in a nearby town uses those colors. Now if I could convince the band instructor to put the marching band in kilts...

Having heard some of the stories about how harley protects its licensing rights, i have to wonder how much they would be charging to let you use it...

Yes, I would be interested in 3 yards, (double wide i imagine)

This looked familiar to me. I went to my closet and found a cotton flannel shirt that matches this tartan. I bought it at the Harley dealer a few years back and it is indeed an official liscensed product. I'd thought it was a "fashion plaid" not knowing that it had been made a "registered tartan" The repeat is only 2.5 inches.

I've worn on-tartan plaid shirts with solid colour kilts before. Too bad Utilikilts does not still offer their motorcycle leather model to wear with this one.

As a side note for those who do not ride motorcycles. Harley-Davidson had a high profile crack-down on the use of their copy-right-able material a few decades ago. Some "questionable" language/image products were on the market back then not produced by the company but with company logos. Harley was looking to "clean up" their image and apeal to a more general/professional market. This may not have made them more restrictive than other companies but maybe more visible in the effort. On the other hand, there have been some kilted participants at Harley Owner Group events. Harley kilts would not be out of the question.

I Ride and would be interested in 6 yds (single width) if you get it to work out.

I've called the local Harley shop and they have no idea what I'm talking about when I asked about the Harley tartan. ("Turban? No, we don't have a turban." "No, I said 'tartan'." "What's a tartan?")

Then I called Burnett's and Struth. They have and/or will make for you a kilt in the Harley tartan. Give them a call and ask for Brandon,
1-877-828-3232 or go to the web site www.burnetts-struth.com. Alternatively, they may sell you a length of material, if you like. I've never asked.

If you're anywhere near Vegas, I was told that they are going to the Highland Games there mid-April (http://www.burnetts-struth.com/news/...and-Games.html) and, because there are a lot of bikers at the games, they will have Harley kilts with them. If you're going, have fun. I wish I was able to join you. http://www.lasvegascelticsociety.org/games.html
