    County Armagh, 8 yard 13 oz


    When I called in at the local kilt shop this morning the proprietor had good news - my County Armagh had just arrived from the kiltmaker in Edinburgh.
    He kept it to remove the basting stitches and give it a press and I was able to go back and collect it this afternoon.

    This brings my kilt collection to 20.

    The obligatory pleats shot.

    Very nice. That would be one of the County tartans I would consider, as it's one of the Counties I've heard associated with the Smiths.

    I like that bright blue and yellow combination. Very striking. Nice kilt!

    Sharp look Alex!

    My guess is if there's a sudden surge in sales of that tartan it'll be due to alumni of the various stateside universities that sport those colors...

    That looks great. Is it from the Marton Mills County Crest collection?

    Was about to say the same... i've seen 2 different Armagh tartans, and the County Crest version is rather bright. The other one is very muted...

    The fabric probably came from Marton Mills as when I ordered the kilt, the shop proprietor said the tartan was one from the Counties Collection and he could get it for me in 13 oz or 16 oz weight.

    Very nice Alex.

    Good to see Irish tartans growing in popularity.
