    Here's what I wear to Irish themed gigs. My stillwater Saffron acrylic and I bought 2 of the acrylic full plaids and made them into a Piper's plaid. It is a smash everytime I wear it. Unfortunately I became too thin for the kilt, so I sold it, but I'm planning on a proper Saffron here shortly.

    Here are some Pipe Band looks with saffron:

    The "real deal", the Royal Irish Rangers Pipe Band:



    Here's a US pipe band following that look:



    Here's a very nice look combing tweed and saffron, a band that marched in NYC St Patrick's Day Parade:



    Here's piper Dave Gallagher wearing a look inspired by the Irish military look but more practical, with dark green Argyll jacket and Glengarry:

    The American band in the second picture is the Brian Boru Pipe band in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (I own their CD)

    I rather like the look of the tweed jackets and fawn/lovat green bonnets with the saffron kilt.
