    Thanks guys...Yes, there's a definite similarity between the two tartans; after all, the County Cavan tartan is one of two tartans that heavily influenced the design of the Fitzsimmons tartan. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the two:

    And here I can see where the Westmeath (some Fitsimons) is related in design.In reality it's not so bright green.

    and a touch of Co Longford

    FYI, I forgot to follow-up here and mention that DHL Express did hit me with a customs fee of $60.20 (about 2 weeks ago). In hindsight, the kiltmaker should at least have the courtesy to inform its customers that this may happen.

    Although these fees are generally out of the kiltmaker's control, there are several other overseas shipping providers available...I wish Tartankilts.com provided a choice rather than not.

    Still, I'm very happy with the kilt and the customer service.

    Looks EXCELLENT! Thanks for showing the two of them next to each other. That's a bit of an education, viewing them like that. VERY nice!
