    What does an O'Saffron kilt look like

    I was looking at the B&S casual kilt sale and I spied a tartan refered to as O'Saffron. Has anyone seen this made into a kilt? Being a casual kilt and knife pleated, I wonder if the sett leads itself to create the lawn chair effect.

    Does anyone have pictures of this tartan made in a kilt? I appreciate your help on this..

    That's the Canadian Irish Regiment tartan, looking for a kilt picture...

    Dan, look here at the Regimental Regalia section in the Photo Albums;

    It makes a damn good looking kilt!

    That is a good looking kilt.. Thanks Zardoz.. I like it a lot. Maybe a bit more than just as a casual kilt from B&S.. I will toy with this idea... either in an 8 yard or .....?

    I saw the O'Saffron, but I'm not sure that it's exactly the same as the Canadian Irish Regiment tartan. I didn't think it had the narrow green stripe that the latter has. I can't check right now, because the Burnett and Struth site is 'down for maintenance'.

    I do believe it does have the stripe, as that's what I used to compare the tartan to the Canadian Irish Regiment. In the link Zardoz first posted.. On my IPhone it was not visible until you enlarged the photo and it shown. I saw it first on the B&S site.
