Ways to Make a Saffron Colored UK...

[Riverkilt]

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.

My best guess is to try to strip the color of the UK first and then get some RIT dye and have at it. I thought I had heard of a Tie-dye UK or something before, so maybe it is an option. That is the only way i can think of it.

Ron,

I have asked several people more familiar than am I about material, and they all gave pretty much the same advice as Miah did.
