But there is a pic from the old kilts: http://www.aef16.dial.pipex.com/nl-vol4-no3.pdf

And here's a pic from the web of solid blue kilts:

I have a couple. Here is a hand stitched by the talented Bonnie Heather Greene in the County Cavan tartan:

It's pleated to the tan stripe in the green block (ala Hamish)

My other is a machine stitched from the ebay site of Tartan Web, in the County Kerry tartan:

I really like House of Edgar tartans and the colors they use.

St. Patrick's blue can be described as sky blue, which can of course run through a range shades. The one that stands out to me is the one used in the flag of the President of Ireland. Some of our sponsors could easily make a kilt for you in this colour.

Scotweb lists 6 shades of blue worsted wool to choose from but I think a nice blue tweed with a subtle check would also be really nice. For example, something like one of the two shades of "Cairngorm" from Keltoi:
