    Limited Edition Design - Once this tartan is gone, it's gone!

    The Appalachian Folklore tartan, designed by Emma Smith and Gillian Moser of USA Kilts, is for anyone who loves the rich culture and natural beauty of the Appalachian Mountain range.
     
    This tartan takes you on a journey...
       From the uniquely blue-green Great Smoky Mountains peeking through silvery mists
       ...to the deep, rich browns of the earth...
       ...and below into the coal black of the forest floor and the mysterious cave systems that honeycomb these ancient mountains.

    Two red lines converge in the black emulating eerie red eyes staring out at you; an homage the unique folklore of Scots-Irish people who settled here.

    The marled grey represents not only the mists falling in the valleys of the mountains, but also the region's iconic geology, as the granite that runs through the veins of the Appalachians is the very same that runs through Scotland's Caledonian Mountains.
     
    The Appalachian Folklore Tartan, at its core, embodies the deep Celtic roots of the Appalachian region and celebrates the enduring nature, history, and culture that developed there. Wear this tribute to the Appalachian community with pride!
