    Fly Plaid Irish National base color Kelly Green

    Any one have a stillwater Irish National Tartan fly plaid they want to pawn off? I have been waiting a looooooooong time for them to get em back into stock. The green in the still waters seems to be a lot lighter than most suppliers' are.

    Let me know,
    Cory

    The best shot that you'll have with this is to find someone that's hemmed theirs because it's too long. Even then, the material won't be very wide. You'll also not find a match to it anywhere but through Stillwater. It's worth an email or call to see if there's anything laying around from a return or sample.

    I have a Stillwater Irish National economy kilt (size 32) that I'd be more than willing to get rid of. You could possibly cut it up to make a fly plaid. $25 US + shipping if you want it.

    I am sorry Sir but I wouldnt dare cut up a kilt :::shudders at thought::: to make a fly plaid. LOL that act would be going against nature, and bordering on sac religion (check spelling on that).

    Right now I have the opportunity to get a piper plaid from stillwater, but I do not have a piper outfit, unless i could wear a piper plaid with a cullodeen shirt.

    A piper's plaid is much larger and heavier than a fly plaid. Wearing a piper's plaid with a culloden shirt would look out of place. However, you could probably use the material of the piper's plaid to make a fly plaid.

    Cory...the kilt I have is their economy version. As a "once in awhile pub kilt" for someone it's ok, but for anyone who wants a proper-looking kilt it's not very good. Jimmy will tell ya! It wouldn't be a shame at all to use this to cut up for a fly plaid.

    Well I already paid stillwater for a fly plaid that he didnt have in stock, so he offered the piper plaid, but I turned that down, seemed it would be a rip off, I am too honest for that I guess. But in any case I am waiting for him to get the reg. fly plaids in stock and he will ship it right to me when he gets it.

    No Biggie I can wait.
