    Yeah, go with the saffron-- kilts aren't part of the Irish national psyche, so don't be too suprised if most people you meet think you're a little daft. Generally the Irish are pretty tolerant and you shouldn't get punched out too often. Just kidding about that last part. Most people will think you are a refugee from an Irish pipe band.

    When faced with a similar choice between the Stillwater Heavyweight kilts I went for green. It goes with more things, very few people will get the connection between the saffron kilt and the fact that saffron kilts were worn by pipers in Irish regiments , and finally (and most important) I liked the green color better.

    So the real question is, when looking at the 2 colors on the USA Kilts site, which one appeals to you (and your Irish side) more?

    Cheers
