And certainly don't forget the Irish Guards:

How could I forget "The Micks" (regimental nickname of the IG's)?

Thanks for that link, btw...

Cheers,

I saw that Todd touched on it earlier, and I've always known them on the Irish musicians and school kids. I even own a saffron traditional for on-stage formal performances.

As for the school boys from St. Enda's, there are some hilarious tales that will remind you of Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue". They took some early beatings, but later became some notorious Irishmen in history.

Saffron is a traditional dye used in leine by the Irish & Scots and can absolutely be traced back into antiquity by the Irish. They thus can claim that color as their own.

While I laugh at an Irishman in a tartan kilt, solids and especialy stripes are quite legitimately and unquely Irish.

Michael, check that caps lock, please. All capitals comes across as yelling in an online forum.

For reference, I do like the solid color kilts, and do not see why Sir Robert has any issue with anybody wearing and promoting the kilt.

[EDIT]

After looking again, I see that I mis-read Sir Robert's post, he was laughing at Irish in tartan kilts and supported them in solid colors, my misinterpretation.

And I was not berating the caps lock, just trying to gently point out the impression of others.

Don't forget the Irish Regiment of Canada!

...except they wear a tartan, according to the web site above, which is sometimes mistaken for the Ulster tartan. ;)
