Irish Tartan poly-viscose kilts... Where to find?

A traditional kilt is hand sewn and made of 100% wool.

I assumed that the original questioner was thinking in terms of a traditionally styled kilt as opposed to a contemporary style like a Utilikilt.

That is exactly what I was thinking. If I have offended anyone (it seems really easy to do here) please move to the correct forum or delete all together.

MacFett,

I see no reason to delete this thread, but I am going to move it from this forum to the "General Kilt Talk" forum where it will be a better fit.

Cheers

Just as Stillwater is the only one in the US to have Irish National in anything other than wool (he has it in Acrylic), We have the exclusive rights to the Ireland's National in anything other than wool (we have it in MM PV) in North America. The tartan itself is a private tartan and we have obtained the permission to use it.

In the same way, ALL of the Irish County Tartans are privately owned. The people that own them only want them available in wool.

Hope this helps to clarify!

Thank you very much Rocky. That helps a lot. I'm trying to loose weight so I am back down to fit my 36" waist Gunn tank (I'm wearing a 46" now). Until then I won't be buying any wool kilts (maybe a SWK heavy).

Sorry we missed your celtic fest this weekend Rocky. We opted for the closer one that was only a 15 minute drive. Sometime soon I want to make the trip up to your shop. I not long ago lived in Reading PA. So hopefully the next time I visit family we can swing your way.
