Looks pretty traditional to me.

Yes, it's a Saffron kilt.

A much nicer Irish kilt, 2nd Batallion, Irish Regiment of Canada.

just got in from watching part of the parade - it was too damned cold , too damned windy & the parade was too damned long & slow moving to watch the whole thing (and as much as i hate to admit it i am now very happy to be back in trousers - its gonna take a while for my bits to get back to thier proper place after the prolonged exposure they had ...)

ANYWAY - saw very few solid colored kilts out today ... only 2 saffron , one medium blue & a pipe corp of BRIGHT yellow, but the rest were all tartans of varying colors & clans - will post pics as soon as i get them from the other members of my krew who had better cameras than I.

Cheers!
