Yes, the Welsh Tartan Centre is where I first saw the Walters Tartan and its sourced from the Welsh Woolen Mills...

However, the web-site of Welsh Tartan.....is well.....awful. To put it bluntly, and I have to admit their prices are about £100 more for each item than the Scottish equivalent. I spoke with them on the phone yesterday and asked why that was....there was no real answer....except that they try to be competetive. I did order a swatch of the cloth though...so I am looking forward to see what it looks like in the flesh!!!

Are Welsh Tartan good at making kilts though????

The 8 yard St Davids cilt I had from there was excellent Martin.

If you go for the 5 yard casual the pleats tend not to be very deep and feels very lightweight - so would not recommend less than the 8 yard.

They are cheaper for some things than Scotweb, the dress ysgrepan for example.
