Ulster kilt

[Andrews Son]

I browsed through scotweb one of our advertisers for the ulster tartan and I found it depending on what weight and colour the cheapest was £333 but I don't know if that includes the 10% discount for being a member usually a green bar comes up mentioning the discount but when I went through the link at the partners box above it didn't show. Has anyone else come across this problem.
But the tartan is a nice one but it's worth asking our other advertisers to see what they can do as I'm not sure how much customs cost going to the US

Hi Andrews Son, Just tried it and green bar was there. Kit

Is it the modern Ulster you are looking for, and what do you think about 4 yard boxed pleat kilts?

I don't really have a preference per style of kilt, but I am looking for the modern "weathered" tartan.

From what I've seen, the most commonly sold variant of the Ulster tartan is the red (i.e., modern) sett. Finding an inexpensive weathered version would therefor be unlikely, unless you could get one used.

Take a look at Got Kilt for their wool-blend, affordable, Ulster red kilt at $109:

Those look nice! If I am not mistaken, isn't the red tartan believed to be the original and the gold/brown tartan a "copy" of the dug aged version? Both are very beautiful tartans!

Yes, it's an interesting story about how the tartan was pulled out of a bog looking all golden brown, but that they were able to deduce what the original red-based sett looked like.

Hiya,

I recently became acquainted with Matthew Newsome's website and his articles and have developed an interest in that style of kilt. May I inquire as to your experience with them?

Thanks,

I have known Matt for years and have 4 of his box pleated kilts the Ulster is one of them and was my first in the 4 yard box pleat style. I think they are wonderful for warm weather and would not hesitate to recommend both the 4 yard box pleat and Matt Newsome as a kilt maker.
Here is a photo of Matt and myself back when he was at the Scottish Tartan Museum in Franklin NC
