    Thanks so much for checking. I really appreciate it. There is a company in Paris (Maison du Kilt) that sells kilts in these tartans, but only in the EU... so far all attempts to contact them have not been successful. The kilts are supposedly made in Scotland according to their website...

    I used to get my Breton tartans 16 oz wool from ScotlandShop.com in Duns, it may be worth asking them if they still have any stock, just a thought. Cheers
    Whose coat is that jacket?

    I will check them out! Thanks so much!

    Bretagne, France is amazingly beautiful! We were there in July of 2018. Had a wonderful time walking through the neighborhoods of our ancestors. And most of the still looked very similar even though they emigrated in the 1650's! The American border agents added the extra letters at the end of the family name.

    Thanks once again!

    You are very welcome, I have two Breton tartans Bro kerne and Bro Vigouden (Bigouden) both of my area, another thought is, have you asked Lady Chrystel, she makes my Kilts and has a option where she supplies the tartan of your choice,
    Very glad you enjoyed your time in Bretagne, it is a beautiful area of France, the best part of it, but I'm biased, it would be great if you could get a Breton tartan to celebrate your heritage, I wish you all the luck in the world. Cheers Christophe

    I've put the word out to a few of the weavers we work with in Scotland. We'll see what they come back with.
