I'm surprised that I haven't seen more discussion about this... I wonder if some of our kiltmakers on this forum would take note and start offering pleats going in the opposite direction for saffron or green kilts or for tartans of Irish surnames. I have thought about getting a saffron kilt for a few months but I was thinking of getting a traditional wool kilt for my Irish surname first.
