New kilts ordered

[Nick Sweeney]

The LEO tartan.
MacLaren tartan
Glyndwr tartan.

Sorry about the quality of the pics, they were taken rather hastily after I got home from work. Better ones will be added in the next few days.

Nick,

You look fantastic in all three kilts. (By the way, that is a really cool shirt.) Because I am looking for a tartan with a blue base, I think I like the LEO tartan the best. But all would be great to have.

Enjoy!!!!!!

Your kilts look great. I would love to see a better pic of the Glyndwr, as that is a tartan I am considering. Congrats!

Here's a picture from an old FB post we did when the tartan was hot off the loom:

Thank you, Rocky. I think it`s that or German Heritage, which I have seen some good pics of. Both very nice tartans.

What is the back story regarding the Glyndwr tartan, Rocky? I don't do FB.
It is unusual, but striking.

Thank you.

From the Facebook post:

In cooperation with the Welsh Tartan Center, USA Kilts is proud to announce that we are now carrying the "Glyndwr Tartan" in PV material. It's a universal Welsh tartan, designed to honor a Welsh national hero, Owain Glyndwr.

Owain Glyndŵr, or Owain Glyn Dŵr, was a Welsh ruler (born 1349, died 1416) and the last native Welshman to hold the title Prince of Wales. He instigated a fierce and long-running but ultimately unsuccessful revolt against the English rule of Wales.

Ahh, Welsh, I should have figured that out - no excuses, just brain dead today.

And we have Welsh names in our family - my son is named Owen.

Thank you, Rocky.
