    Irish Tartan's in PV

    Are there any weavers that produce the Irish County or Irish County Crest tartans in PV? Or are the generic "Irish Heritage", "Irish National", "Irish American", "Murphy"...ect the only so-called "Irish Tartans" avaliable in PV?

    None of the county collections nor National tartans are produced as stock in PV since they're privately owned (except Murphy, which is not private, but not produced as stock). USA Kilts has exclusive rights to the Ireland's National tartan in PV and have to have the Murphy / Tara tartan woven in large quantities to custom order it for ourselves.

    Jerry from Stillwater Kilts has the exclusive rights to weave the Irish National tartan in Pakistan of "Non Wool" fabrics such as Acrylic and Wool Blends. All others producing this tartan are violating copyrights of HOE.

    To my knowledge, HOE (owns the County Collection and "Irish National") and Tartan Web (owns the County CREST collection, "Ireland's National" and "Irish American" as woven by Marton Mills) have no plans on allowing it to be woven in PV.

    Thank you Rocky

    Thanks for the information, Rocky.
    It confirms what my understanding was, unfortunately.
    I guess I will just have to save a little longer for a woolie.
