Hello wise ones.

I would like some assistance with my little quandary. I want to get my son and I matching kilts in Irish National tartan (or variant) to get him started into kilt wearing: Irish national as a nod to our Irish ancestry; inexpensive because he is 13 and growing like a weed; matching so he doesn't feel like he is going it alone.

My forays onto the interweb reveal that I can get a Stillwater kilt in House of Edgar's Irish National in acrylic; USA kilts do a casual in their 'Ireland's National' variant in PV; and Heritage of Scotland do an 8 yd in PV in a 'Heritage of Ireland' tartan; all for a very reasonable price.

I guess my problem is that the tartan variants listed above are in my order of preference because they seem to have increasing 'whiteness', if that is a word. I would prefer to get the 8 yd PV kilt at the HoS price, but it is too 'white'.

Any suggestions on whether I can get an inexpensive House of Edgar Irish National 8 yd kilt in PV? I appreciate that I may have to compromise, just thought I would check in with the brains trust first.

cheers

John
