Provenance
Earliest known date: 2009 I chose the colors primarily because of my love for the darker, hunting tartans, and because the two main colors are visual representaions of the main sources of income of my home county: fishing and farming. The blue represents the water that surrounds three sides of the county, Calvert County, Maryland. We are bound by the Chesapeake Bay on one side and the Patuxent River on the other; the two bodies of water meet at the southern end of the county. The green represents out farms. For generations tobacco production was the main industry here. It was such an important part of life that a green tobacco leaf is on our county flag. The other colors: red and gold remind me of the brillant autumns around here. See Wells (Red)

The colours represent the designer's love for the darker, hunting tartans. The two main colours represent the main sources of income of the designer's home county (Calvert County, Maryland): fishing and farming. The blue represents the water that surrounds three sides of the county. It is bound by the Chesapeake Bay on one side and the Patuxent River on the other and the two bodies of water meet at the southern end of the county. The green represents the farms where, for generations, tobacco production was the main industry. It was such an important part of life that a green tobacco leaf is on the county flag. The other colours, red and gold, remind the designer of the brillant autumns. Developed for weaving by House of Tartan. - 2009 — Greg Wells Personal Tartan (house-of-tartan, record)
