Pennsylvania Tartan?

[Wompet]

Last Friday when I was up in Franklin, Matt mentioned having made a Pennsylvania tartan kilt for someone. Maybe, if we're lucky, he took a picture or two.
(Just the remaining fabric looked good. Unfortunately I would have had to be two feet tall for it to be enough for a kilt. )

I believe it is official now. See below:

I like that tartan (unlike the Texas Bluebonnet - sorry fans)! I'm not from PA, but that's the colony where my ancestor McIntyre got off the boat and settled. I'm strongly considering a purchase.

This bill is still in committee as of today so it is not law until passed by both house and senate. I have to look these things up all the time at work...

I'm going to following this. This is very near to my heart beacuse I was born and raised in PA. The mintue the State House and State Senate pass this into law I am getting a kilt in the PA tartan!

[Kiltboy]

Following here too. Born and raised in Harrisburg, and love that tartan.

as far as state tartans go, I'm quite partial to the New Hampshire tartan
