Comparing the saffron kilt color to the UK caramel workman's the UK is already too dark and a much different color than the saffron.

Don't know that the brown in a khaki kilt could be overcome with a new dye and then there's the same old worry about polyesther thread in the UK.

UKHQ is saying there's no polyester thread in their vegan white workmans but a recent purchaser of three such kilts three months ago has found that the thread seems to be a polyester blend since the seams are not dying the same as the cloth.

So back to distant hopes that UK would make one.

I know Bear makes poly/viscose saffron kilts when he can, and I know I can lay out for a hand sewn, but still stuck on the idea that a saffron UK out of cotton or cotton poly would be a cool looking kilt for the Irish in us.

Found a cool site about the Royal Irish Rangers that shows a saffron kilt, guessing of wool.
