- 01/01/2003 — Rainbow (Fort Worth) (register-of-tartans, record)
This tartan is believed to emanate from Fort Worth in Texas and may possibly have been intended as a district tartan. - pre 2003 — Rainbow (Fort Worth) (Fashion) (tartans-authority, record)
Asymmetric. Yet another example of someone designing and naming a 'tartan' without bothering to check that they're not reinventing the wheel - which they are for second time. This is said to emanate from Fort Worth in Texas and possibly be a district 'tartan'. It can hardly be described as a tartan in the first place so the jury is out on its category.
