    The first link of pics with tattoobradely and his cousin is actually Ireland's National, not Irish National (yes, there is a difference) that USA Kilts carries.

    The Irish National was produced sometime ago and the original mill (House of Edgar if i am not mistaken) kept the rights pretty locked up. You can find a ton of knock offs of the tartan, but Stillwater now has the rights and permission to use it for their kilts http://www.stillwaterkilts.com/irish.html

    Ireland's National is produced by Marton Mills and is used more widely availableto most kiltmakers. Both are nice looking tartans, but I don't believe either are actually recognized as official tartans. Rocky and Kelly at USA Kilts seem to sell alot of them.

    Having said that, I think either would look pretty cool with an Eskimos jersey or one it's own at a game. Maybe the Stillwater Standard Irish National is worth a try for the price to see what you think.Thought the Ireland's National from USAkilts comes in casual and in Semi-traditional. It also looks like Rocky has some in the Off the rack section http://www.usakilts.com/offtherack.php
    You could also think about the Irish American from Tartanweb for a inexpensive Scottish-made wool kilt http://www.tartanweb.com/specialoffers/index.html The colours are a bit different though. Try a search for it, as a few members have posted pics.
