Well that just makes things more difficult. hmmm.

I'm trying to stay with a not-so-expensive first kilt, which limits my choices for tartans. I've decided pretty much on either Bearkilts or USAK. I have to choose what they offer, and the Balck Watch is a true Tartan, unlike many of their other offerings at USAK. That is why I thought I'd go with that tartan. I certainly want to have a kilt that looks authentic in regards to the tartan, and don't want to end up with something bought off the shelf at Jo-Anne Fabrics.

Well, My last name is Wilson. My grandfather was born in County Tyrone. I would really appreciate any information you could provide me that may help me choose an appropriate tartan . Thanks

Forgive my ignorance, Brian, but is County Tyrone in N. Ireland or the Republic?
If it's Northern Ireland then the Black Watch tartan is just fine. My dad's family came from County Antrim in N. Ireland and I have a Black Watch kilt.
