Irish Kilt Advice Needed

[Celtic Cyclist]

Thank you all for your guidance. I'm definitely leaning towards the saffron. Yes, I heard that the Irish can be a 'tough crowd'.

In all my reading of Irish history, I've run across only one photograph of any one kilted. One of my books has a picture of a young Countess Markievicz, beautiful debutant turned revolutionary, seated among a kilted pipe band. There's no date given, but I think the photograph was taken well before the '16 rising.

I have seen photos of Eamonn Ceannt, The O'Mahoney and the The O'Rahilly in kilts. In addition, on page 31 of White & O'Shea's The Irish Volunteer Soldier 1913-23 there is a photo of the Cork Brigade, Irish Volunteers HQ Staff that shows a gentleman in a kilt, circa 1915.
