I really like the Weathered Ulster Barb Tewksbury made for me. The kilt looks a lot better than I do:

The Frugal Corner, New World Irish looks very close to the Heratage of Scotland, Heratage of Ireland PV that I ordered and is in the Royal Mail now.
Will be a close call for it to get here on time. It's just drop dead georgous to my eyes.
UPDATE I looked again, this one has double orange stripes among other differences.

I submitted several designs as part of a contest The Frugal Corner was running and they selected this one, most likely because of the consistent colour scheme between a number of Irish tartans. The pattern, however, is reasonably different. To be honest, I also really liked some of my other designs that were black backgrounds with various shades of green lines, although I'll admit they weren't as instantly recognizable as 'Irish."

Here is my New World Irish tartan kilt, worn with a St. Pat's blue shirt:

And my Stillwater green shadowtartan:

Colin good of you to have included the St Patrick's blue, anyone who has been to Áras an Uachtaráin in Phoenix Park, the home of the Irish President, will know the St Patrick blue as it flies on the flag. A kilt in St Patrick's blue is on my wish list. The one pipe band I knew wore it, in San Francisco, now wears the County Wexford Tartan. But there is a pic from the old kilts: http://www.aef16.dial.pipex.com/nl-vol4-no3.pdf
