The fabric was woven at her family Woolen Mill in Scotland. The fabric was then brought to the nearby <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lochcarron.com\/lochcarron.swf\">Lochcarron Kilt Makers<\/a> shop and made to our measurements there. Our thanks to Donald Ransom\u00a0for taking our kilt measurements; a needed professional touch!<\/p>\n<p>The Vermont Tartan was adopted by the Vermont Legislature as the \u201cofficial\u201d state Tartan. Thanks are also due to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.standrewssocietyofvermont.org\/\">St. Andrews Society of Vermont<\/a>, who was gifted the rights to the Tartan by Lilias MacBean Hart, and as our original sponsor has allowed us to use it as our band kilt. The Society also holds the rights to the \u201cGreen Mountain Tartan&#8221;, designed by Anne Somers, a long time Society member.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1479 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/vtpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/VTDress2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vtpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/VTDress2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/vtpipeband.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/VTDress2.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Band Uniform The band currently wears the: Vermont \u201cDress\u201d tartan kilt, black waist belt, black leather day sporran, black Glengarry cap, light green epaulette shirt, with dark green necktie, cream hose and tartan flashes and black shoes.
