Richard is a great guy with some pretty cool ideas... If you stop by his mill, take a look at the Prince Charlie with matching tartan on the tails and cuffs... very classy.

The Edwards and Morgan tartans look nice, both family from Wales.

Thanks for the recommendation. Nice to see a supplier that carries something other than the usual stuff, and they obviously take pride in what they do -- always the sign of a good merchant. I'm lucky, too, my local Scottish products supplier is listed as one of their stockists. I saw an item or two I may have to get and I can get them locally; excellent!

Once I have a piccy done of me wearing the Roberts cilt I will post it in the piccies section.

When I returned from Edinburgh there was an email waiting to check I was happy with it. I mentioned that the flashes didn't match with the stripes going in different directions on each flash. They are sending me another pair FOC and told me to keep the current ones for spares.

To me that is excellent after sales service and I have no doubt that another order will be going their way very soon!

My Great Grandmother was an Edwards. They were extremely wealthy. They owned Edwards Hall in Glamorganshire, Wales down by Cardiff. I have all their history and it's even rumored that one of the Edwards sons was the bastard son of Henry the VIII. But only they knew I guess because now it's only speculation. Anyway, I love the Edwards tartan and hope to acquire it one day as well. Speaking of...Are there any major physical differences from Scottish and Welsh kilts/cilts?
