I've sifted through a numbe of articles as well as threads on this forum with regards to Irish Kilts. With my last name the closest thing I could find to a Tartan was three different shades of Red/Burgundy and Yellow for County Monaghan. I currently own a Black Watch Great Kilt and Black Watch Sport Kilt. I'd like to go with something a bit different.


Formal Kilts seem to be standard as to what your dos and don'ts are as well as what the proper attire is.

I have a local Rennaisance Festival coming up. Minus spending hundreds of dollars on a Great Kilt w/fly plaids, etc. etc. etc., I'm seriously considering a Saffron Kilt. From what I've read and Googled, you're either in Piper garb, Military or sporting a standard shirt w/ the Saffron . I want to go down a different route and lose the modern t-shirt and a Kilt look for something a bit closer to a Renn look.

Let me know what you guys think:

- Saffon Kilt from Stillwater

2. I have a beautiful pair of Black George Boot - Logging Boots that I wear every year.

3. A Portain or a Swordsman Vest (I think) would look great with a Jacobite Ghillie shirt underneath.

4. Maybe Green Hose?

I'm trying to take a modern look and add a bit of renn twist to it. To be honest, I think this color would look great with Brown Boots, Dark Brown Vest, Brown Belt with a Brown Sporran?

Ideas, suggestions?
