    You're right Ham,

    Probably a mill designation. The colors are the same as the Welsh District Tartan and the Welsh assembly tartan (Are you listening Derek?)

    This is a tartan that's very hard to get good pics of, you have to see it in person. There are only three colors, red, a dark forest green, and white. The dark forest green looks nearly black on the swatch or pics.

    There's a majesty about the look of the tartan, perhaps that's why it got a princely name.

    It does well incorporate the colors of the Welsh flag, so for me - even though its a merchant tartan, it serves to honor my Welsh blood from my Bowen and Lewis lines.

    Remember, you won't find this swatch on the casual listing, its over on the semi-traditional swatch listing. Just ask for it made up in casual if that's what you want. I like my casuals with wide belt loops.

    Today, I'm sure if I'd known how beautiful this tartan was I'd have had it made up in a semi-traditional instead....and may still...

    Thanks Kelly for your craftsmanship.

    I've got a Prince of Wales from Melville Kilts and it's one of my favorites.

    Ron ... The Prince of Wales Tartan is available as a cheaper cilt (£75) in several of the rugby stores in the city. I did buy one, but it does'nt hold up to much and looks more like a ski$$ than a cilt now ... I would'nt even wear it to answer the door in. I'll dig it out and post a piccy and you'll see what I mean. The colours of the tartan though are really great. I will enquire in the Welsh Tartan Centre if they do make a 14oz 8yd one.

    Guessing there's a reason (shipping, tarrifs??) that you'd not have Rocky make up a casual or semi-trad in it?

    I'm still seriously considering a semi-traditional in it. Such a beautiful tartan, think it would look great. Don't know that I have enough Welsh blood to warrant a full blown hand sewn traditional from Kathy Lare...but who knows...?

    Look forward to them pics though.
