	Tartan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tartan is a specific woven pattern that often signifies a particular Scottish clan in the modern era.
		The tartan of a Scottish clan is a sequence of colors and shades unique to the material, authorised by the clan society for use by members of that clan for kilts, ties, and other garments and decorations.
		In the Celtic regions of Cornwall and Wales tartans and kilts have been adopted as part of the 19th and 20th century Celtic revival and the traditional Northumbrian tartan, known in Scotland as the Shephard's Tartan, perhaps the oldest tartan design in Britain, is common and worn by Northumbrian Pipers.

		If the tartan is for fabric use, applicants must provide a woven or printed sample of an acceptable commercial standard which should be a minimum of 25cms x 18cms (10 inches x 7 inches) or of sufficient size to show half a sett if that exceeds these measurements.
		Tartans named after countries, states, provinces, districts, towns, companies and other such bodies, which are purporting to be official, must similarly be accompanied by a letter of authorisation from the appropriate authority.
		The inclusion of any tartan should, however, not be taken as endorsement of the individual or corporate owner of that tartan or of any associated beliefs and operating methods.
