County Armagh, 8 yard 13 oz
When I called in at the local kilt shop this morning the proprietor had good news - my County Armagh had just arrived from the kiltmaker in Edinburgh.
He kept it to remove the basting stitches and give it a press and I was able to go back and collect it this afternoon.
This brings my kilt collection to 20.
The obligatory pleats shot.

Very nice Alex, congratulations on the new kilt.

Very nice. That would be one of the County tartans I would consider, as it's one of the Counties I've heard associated with the Smiths.
I like that bright blue and yellow combination. Very striking. Nice kilt!
.. the kilt had concealed a blaster strapped to one thigh and a knife to the other. He was aware of the present gentle customs against personal weapons, but he felt naked without them. Such customs were nonsense anyhow, foolishment from old women - there was no such thing as "dangerous weapons," only dangerous people.

Sharp look Alex!
My guess is if there's a sudden surge in sales of that tartan it'll be due to alumni of the various stateside universities that sport those colors...

That looks great. Is it from the Marton Mills County Crest collection?

Was about to say the same... i've seen 2 different Armagh tartans, and the County Crest version is rather bright. The other one is very muted...

I like it. I like the County Crest versions of the tartans very much.

The fabric probably came from Marton Mills as when I ordered the kilt, the shop proprietor said the tartan was one from the Counties Collection and he could get it for me in 13 oz or 16 oz weight.
