The Solid Coloured Kilt

[macwilkin]

I wore solid Blue (I'd like a St Patrick's Blue, but this is Navy) for the 4th of July with a red top and it looked fine. I do get a few more snide remarks with the solid blue over a tartan but matched with a sporran it quells most questions.

Like these kilts?

A few years back when the Clan Ó Mórdha Society voted on an "official" kilt/tartan, the St. Patrick's Blue was in the running. In the end we chose the solid "Irish Green".

I still really like St. Patrick's Blue however

Todd:
I somehow missed this reply.... Yes that is right. It's not in the budget today because I just placed an order with Keltoi, but a few months back I tried find someone who stocked this blue. This link is helpful, another pipe band I had contacted had discontinued wearing it in favor of a tartan.

Thanks

You're most welcome. I thought the Dublin Fire Brigade Pipes & Drums wore a solid St. Patrick's Blue kilt as well, but it appears they have switched to a tartan kilt.

My father belonged to the IBEW for many years, and he was surprised to find out that they had a pipe band. I tried to get one of their patches for him (he collects military insignia), but to no avail.
