- 01/01/1980 — Kozlosky (Personal) (register-of-tartans, record)
Based on a curtain fabric and apparently designed by Gordon Teall for Joespeh (sic) Kozlosky who is said to have worn it as a kilt. He later gifted it to the Scottish Tartans Society but some time after that asked for its return. This was refused apparently on the grounds that such a vital part of Scotland's cultural heritage should remain in the country. Further note in Scottish Tartans Society records say: Note: LR (pink) should be pinker - possibly fluorescent. Fabric is fireproof cotton. - pre 2002 — Kozlosky (Personal) (tartans-authority, record)
Said to have been a joke perpetrated by Dr Gordon Teal (STS) and friends at Stone Mountain Games in Georgie in response to a Mr Kozlosky enquiring as to the existance of a tartan for his name. Some fire-rpoof cotton fabric was hastily acquired from the nearby town and fashioned into a kilt which Mr Kozlosky apparently wore and later donated to the STS. Some time after he asked for its return which was refused on the grounds that such a vital part of Scotland's cultural heritage should remain in the country. Further note in STS records say: "Note: LR (pink) should be pinker - possibly fluorescent. Fabric is fireproof cotton."
