Talk:Sillitoe tartan

Surely given the rareness of armed police officers outside of the security theater that is today airports deserves a more appropriate picture? Maybe one of the one referenced here? (CC licensed )

Australia - Colour

The Sillitoe Tartan band on the SA Police hat in the 1980s was black and white. I'm not sure it has actually changed. Ozdaren (talk) 23:45, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

The Queensland Police cap band is black and white (I guess watching it on TV tonight is original research...). Ozdaren (talk) 13:30, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

A google search shows the WA police use black and white on traditional style peaked caps and blue and white on baseball caps. Ozdaren (talk) 13:55, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

• Queensland, WAPol and SApol all use a very dark navy as opposed to black on their dress (peak) caps/headwear. YEPPOON (talk) 07:36, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Iceland

It seems to be used in Iceland as well. Hellerick (talk) 14:13, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Photographs

Regarding the recent addition of the HM Coastguard vehicle photograph. It is already part of the Battenburg markings article so, should it be in this article as well? --Dreddmoto (talk) 18:16, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Hard to decide. Battenburg and Silitoe Tartan overlap in many of their characteristics. The two "layers" of patterns on the HM Coastguard livery resemble Battenburg, but its form as a thinner strip along the side of the vehicle, as opposed to being a wider covering as you see with other Battenburg markings, makes it also resemble Silitoe Tartan - Democfest (talk) 01:01, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Democfest, I had not considered that. Thanks for replying. --Dreddmoto (talk) 01:02, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
