Kilts???

I disagree with this, saffron coloured kilts are mainly worn by loyalist ulster scots who would never refer to themselves as irish.

Actually, Saffron kilts are also worn by the military pipe bands in the Republic of Ireland as well. Some experts also surmise that the saffron kilt may have got its start with Pádraig Pearse, who was most definitely neither a loyalist nor an Ulster Scot!

The colours in an individual tartan are not indicative of rank or social class.

They may of course have significance relating to the clan or area or country or organisation they are named after.

As you may have noticed in the avatars of some of the posters to this thread, there are many colours to the kilt. Find what you are comfortable with and go from there. Mine is the Irish National Tartan by Stillwater Kilts. The whole point is to wrap yourself in a kilt and enjoy the comfort and freedom. You have been given a lot of resources already. All over this page are advertisers of kilts. Check out their catalouges on line. SWK, USA Kilts, both have indicators of what are "universal" tartans. Then there is always a self colour (solid colour) kilt. I hope you enjoy the board
