Colin: Interesting you should mention John Hart (Keltoi Gaelic clothing) he is a superb kilt maker and he and I have discussed a St Patrick's blue kilt. I also own of his Cairngorme tweed kilts which is very nice He would be a good person to contact regarding your St Patrick's blue kilt. OH! and he is a proud son of Donegal.

Here's a few drawings of Irish kilts.

On the left is a solid red kilt, which I haven't seen before. On the right is a saffron kilt pleated all the way around, which I have heard some early Irish kilts were.

Irish piper:

This one might be Scottish... but it is still a solid blue kilt and fits our discussion of such things:

Doesn't the top right picture show the pleats in the front?

There is another picture of this style of kilt in one of the threads currently running here. As I understand it, the pleats go all round.

See thread: Irish kilts Solid v Tartan, posts 28 & 32.

Ah, Bonnie, your kilts are sooooo nice. Now you have me thinking about an Irish county tartan. How busy are you these days??

**bonnie heather** · 17th March 12, 01:37 PM

Aww.. thanks Dennis. It's pretty busy, but never too busy for you.

I got my H of Scotland, Heratage of Ireland kilt and Lovat Green hose today - just in time. Sorry about the shirt - looked good with the Saffron kilt.

Think I have a yellow-gold top this shade. More green with an Elf hat an pipe.......

Update: This tartan color combo is real good a hiding my dogs hair. (apricot-fawn pug)
