Tartan Design Information

One of a series of US Military Tartans woven by the Strathmore Woollen Company. This tartan was designed in conjunction with Raymond Jones and Alexis Malcolm in 2004, as the US Army was the only sector of the forces not to have their own tartan. The colours were chosen to represent the uniform of the US Army; black for the beret, khaki for the summer uniform; light green for the original sniper and now part of the summer uniform, dark blue for the original dress uniform, olive for the combat uniform and gold to represent the cavalry.
