The Irish National tartan in wool is already produced. See the Stillwater website.

Jerry has contracted with the patent holders of the tartan to produce it it in acrylic material.

As for the Isle of Skye tartan, it is currently available in wool or Poly-viscose so I imagine it isn't really a contender for the next Stillwater kilt tartan option.

However if IoS is high on your list check with Pete at Canadian Casual Kilt or Rocky at USA Kilts for IoS in PV.

Cheers

Jamie

What Jamie meant is: House of Edgar produces the Irish National tartan in wool, so that's widely available (but not at SWK). See your kiltmaker, fabric supplier, etc.

Jerry arranged with HoE to sell it in acrylic in the US---formerly not an option anywhere.
