There's one exciting bit I forgot to mention...well, it's exciting to me at least:

The Fitzsimmons material (and kilt) I have on order from Edgar (due 7/21/06) will contain the same dark green, light brown, dark brown and black that you see here in the County Cavan kilt. After seeing these in person now rather than looking at the tartan/yarn samples I have, I really can't wait 'til my other kilt gets here...it's going to be absolutely beautiful!
