    Masai

    A friend of mine got back from a dig in Kenya awhile ago and made friends with the local Masai. He showed me a blanket he got from them, and I joked he should make a kilt out of it. Well, he's not going to cut up the blanket, but he's actaully interested in the kilt idea. Here are some Masai tartans:



    Some of them look downright Scottish! Who knows, maybe this will work out.

    Those all look really good, and would all make a really good looking kilt.

    Thing is...are they Tartans or checked cloth. Don't forget tartan is about the weave/pattern.
