One of a series of US Military tartans woven exclusively by the Strathmore Woollen Company of Forfar and adopted by the Band of the Air Force Reserve, Georgia, USA in the early 1990s. Although this has no official US Military recognition, it has been widely accepted by US servicemen and their families with Air Force connections as a representative design. How it came to life is as follows: it started life in 1988 as a new design from Strathmore and proved popular with one particular customer called Jane – for whom Strathmore made skirts in the tartan. Just like their predecessors, Wilson’s of Bannockburn back in the 18th & 19th century, Strathmore gave the tartan an unofficial name – ‘Lady Jane of St Cirus’ – a small beachside settlement north of Montrose. Another of their customers was Robert Kulyn, proprietor of the Tartan House in Tipp City, Ohio and he showed the Lady Jane to members of the Band who like it sufficiently to adopt it. Since it was a bit of an orphan – apart from the ‘Lady Jane ‘ skirts – Strathmore were happy to agree. Stratmore swatch & Lochcarron scarf swatch. A variation of this is named U.S. Forces Thurso – #5074.
