Unfortunately I will miss the Q & A as I will be working at that time. Will some of the questions and answers be posted somewhere afterwards?
As far as Welsh tartans go there are several out there, yet it seems that most are either special weaves or sold by the Welsh Tartan Center, or WTC, who as I understand it owns the last tartan mill in Wales. WTC weaves 14 oz wool material that is not flimsy or loosely woven, yet not as sturdy as a 16 oz weave from some other mills. WTC added restrictions on the tartans they designed and are very picky on who weaves these tartans. WTC also will not weave Welsh tartans that they did not design, I have had conversations with them about this. For some reason WTC does very little in PV yet there is the Glyndwr tartan that does come in PV and the Prince of Wales tartan looks great also.
As for making a kilt, or cilt, in a Welsh Tartan I would trust the kilt making skill of USA Kilts over that of the Welsh Tartan Center. I have seen what USA Kilts can produce and in my opinion it top quality.
