moved from the thread by beloitpiper: my irish uniform http://www.royalirishrangers.co.uk/uniform.html So, I'm guessing that the reason that ladies don't wear the saffron would be because of it's history as a man's military uniform...? Gosh I love google... it's better then having a genie because you can ask it more then three times. All I did was search 'saffron kilt'.
theres guys wear them and the girls look fantastic http://www.dlscouts.ie/dlspipeband.html
Oops, please delete duplicate post when you have a chance, thanks.
Hm...I wear one. Lots of things we wear today have roots in the military. Moosedog

I can't see that you are correct there,the Black Watch tartan is worn by many a lady,so why should saffron be any differant? As H D has said, the ladies look great in saffron.

I just order mine this past weekend
I will have to track down where I saw that it wasn't worn by the ladies... It was when I was looking for kilts for our Venturing Crew. I know I looked at every link to the businesses on here and a few that popped up during a a google search. This is going to drive me nuts.
May I PM you about the scouting connection. We just started a Venturing Crew (co-ed ages 14-21).

This may have been one of the sites: It is a UK scouting site: http://www.scoutbase.org.uk/library/...2006/index.htm POR: Chapter 10: Uniform, Badges and Emblems Rule 10.18: The Kilt and Pleated Tartan Skirts" I know I saw it on a site that sells them though. I know that ladies in pipe bands dress to match the gents and so they wear a kilt... but I am not talking about that... I'm talking about the use of Saffron in ladies wear.
