so all the irish county tartans are newly designed? anyways, i still have the one from the area my family originated from, cost more but i am happy. why would only pipers wear the tartans?

In the Royal Irish Regiment of the British Army and the Irish Defence Forces, only the pipe bands wear kilts (saffron kilts); not the rank and file (unlike the Royal Regiment of Scotland, for instance).

Irish County tartans designed by Polly Wittering of the House of Edgar in 1997.
