Irish accoutrements
So am wondering how many Sons of Erin on this board when kilted up use mainly Irish accoutrements? Im not talking about the American version either of a Guiness shirt and a green felt leprechaun hat either.
I dont own an argyll ,tweed or doublet of anykind, generally i wear a nice aran sweater or fishermans roll neck jumper.
I have custom hose flashes and kilt pin ribbons and generally wear buckled brogues, Albiet there is not a lot you could throw on i try to lean towards mainly irish and throw in some custom Canadian hose flashes to boot.
Cheers!

I often wear an Irish flat cap, as a nod to my Irish grandmother (who married my Scottish grandfather.) But that's the only accessory I wear when kilted, that one could call Irish.

I attribute my tastes in "sensible foot and head wear" to my Irish (maternal) influences and the practical Scottish monetary demands of my paternal line.

MacDonagh Tartan
Here's a pic of me in my MacDonagh tartan. Yes, it is Irish...designed by Robert Mitchell, of Paisley, Scotland, somewhere in the mid-eighteen hundreds. Robert lived in Dublin, but not much more is know about this kilt and the name behind the design. Who might it have been made for? Lord knows!
Typically, this is what I wear for daywear. And, I've worn this kilt with a Brian Brou jacket and vest. Also, I've done it up casual.

I too often wear a flat cap, I also wear a fine vintage pin depicting my Irish family plant badge of holly, it looks great in my eyes and unless you are versed in plant badges it's just a fine kilt pin or bonnet badge.

I'm a fan of the Donegal tweed scally cap and aran sweater look. THCD is just too damn formal for me. And expensive. I also have a caubeen with an Irish Volunteers' badge.
