Todd - it's not the French part, it's the "Court" part.

Don't get me wrong, I like to fish, but it's not nearly as cool as fighting off a soldier when wearing only a kilt, hose, and a sword (MacMillan)!

Yep, that was Great Grampa MacMillan. (sept of clan) Accept he was probably having a scotch instead of fighting... 
BTW, I'm finding out what these look like by you guys talking about them, thanks.

Several years ago Gaelic Themes made a series of figures based on the MacIan prints. These were really very well done (but cost a lot more than t-shirts)-- I wonder if they are still in production?

Thanks for posting that up. Not to long ago I was contemplating making up a batch for my Clan to offer at the old Clan tent at Highland Games and other such events. I of course have the Cameron print hanging proudly in my living room. I'll have to add that to the list along with one of your wonderful kilts. By the way how long is the line say if I ordered one some time this month ? I should get it in a couple years or so right .
Yours Aye,
Sean
