Tim, I'd not expect that Union Kilts in Wales will have a huge impact on such a revival. This company, is making only contemporary/alternative kilts in leather, camouflage, denim, etc. Whilst their designs are slightly different, they are not very dissimilar to the kilts currently available from many North American kiltmakers. Of course, those of us over here not only like to support our own manufacturing companies, but we would also make considerable financial savings by doing so!!
By "Welsh Kilt" I assume you to mean Welsh tartan kilts, because Welsh kilts (Cornish kilts, Breton kilts in France and Irish kilts) are tailored exactly as are Scottish kilts - only the tartans or solid colours used indicate the Country! There are some very attractive family tartans in Wales and there are specialised kiltmakers there too. www.welsh-tartan.com being one of them.
Derek is 'our man' when it comes to Welsh kilts, or "Cilts" as the Welsh spell it! Maybe he'll come up with more information for you.
