I always wondered if there was any truth to the colours and design of Slaine's official tartan if he was wearing them at all.
Now, if I could find all the pictures where he is seen to be wearing them.....
Which looks like from Horned-God onwards only...
Same colours on the action figure shown below...

Red chequers & black strips criss-crossing design here...

Tan with Black stripes on his action figure...

Does the colours/design on his cloak bear any significance?

I understand red tartans are battle tartans!
Macroth is not listed Here
Yet, I understand that Clan Tartans weren't in used until the 19th century and thats well after the great flooding of Tir-Nan-Og.
So what is Slaine's Tartan?
Is that the MacRoth given that one generation can have their own since he took his last name from father's first name and had Mac.
Which is something else I'd like to know about?
They must have stopped doing that at some stage before families just kept to the one surname like they do now.
I'm asking out of curiousity that I had about since I see him wear those and since I think it might be miss- leading.
I like a pair of my own like his or what they claim to be Free-Tartan so I don't offend the real Gaelics that still revere them.
I very nearly brought a pair of these years ago when I was down south in Sydney.

They're obviously not clan tartans, but I wanted more information before wearing them myself. It's not like I'm even punk. I just love the look of it!
Here are some other sources I've been reading into.....
Tartan-Wiki
History of Plaid (Which is Canadian/American for Tartan!)
Birth of Tartan
Not trying to make Pat Mills or any of his Slaine artists post Horned-God look bad, just want to know more.
