I've always like the solid green, blue, saffron kilts, the colours just look great to my eye. Even tweed versions would be interesting.

Some of the Irish tartans just don't appeal to me, couldn't care less whether they were "right or wrong", I don't think I would wear them. I do like the Ulster tartan though and a couple others.


Whether should they be tartan or not is up to the wearer I guess. The public will see it as a kilt both ways hopefully.

To most of the people tartan is a Scottish thing, while solid might be something else. Maybe if they see green or saffron kilts they will think it's Irish, but tartan will usually say "Scottish" to other people.

Just an observation.
