May I ask what that means? I know "Dewi Sant" = St. David. Is "Brithwe" the Welsh for tartan?

that's my understanding. You may also see Dewi Sant Cenedlaethol for St. David's National.
Nice work, Rocky: I wondered how the pleats would look, and they are awesome.

There isn't a directly translatable Welsh word for "tartan" - "brithwe" is used in the closest sense to it though and the word means "weave".

That is pretty much as I had worked it out, Trefor. Many thanks for coming up with the answer to Galician's question.
Take care,

Yes, thanks for that. Now I am wondering if "tartan" itself might not simply mean that as well. Hmmmm.........
