I hope I can get in on that. An EMS memorial kilt would be great for the formal at the Arkansas EMS Association Convention next year! (This year's convention is next weekend)

I believe there's a most honorable story behind how the EMS tartan came to look like a restaurant tablecloth...the first ones were just that. Maybe someone who knows the story well can tell it.
I own a Medical White Utilikilt Original that would make a fine EMS kilt. I've "outgrown" it, but I don't know many EMS folks that are as fat as I used to be. Its 65 poly/35 cotton with silver snaps and logo. True 42" waist 21" length. Not made anymore, believe it was a sample or trial kilt. Got it from scratch and dent but no defects, just unusual. Its a great snow camo kilt too.

Rocky,
I'm still trying to save up for that Navy Edzell, but put me down for the EMS tartan and hopefully you will have some left over fabric...I'm sure there's a bank that needs robbin somewhere?
Blue completes my collection and I can start concentrating on accessories.

I could wear it at my pant waist, where I wear my phillabeg. I wish this "diet" and exercise program would kick in soon!

Actually, the "MacMedic" tartan was designed for (volunteer?) emergency workers either the Grandfather or Stone Mountain games.

To be clear the kilt would be special events only.
