    Hi Beery,

    Just to throw in my sixpennyworth:

    On my first 'proper' visit to Wales last September, I treated myself to a cilt (Welsh for kilt!) in what is currently known as the Welsh National tartan or the St. David's Tartan (Brithwe Dewi Sant). As far as I know, I have no Welsh blood, only very good friends there, but I like the tartan and wanted to wear the cilt as a mark of my respect for that fine Country - I also wanted to have it in my Kilt Kollection. That was all the justification I needed for the purchase! This was the first photo I took of myself wearing it:



    The kilts are available from our very own www.KiltStore.net and from the Wales Tartan Centres - www.welsh-tartans.com - amongst others.

    If you are of Welsh extraction, why not consider this fine tartan?

    Hamish, is there a kilt that doesn't look good on you?

    It hasn't been made...................yet.

    But with some of the fashion designers out there, it may well be thought of!!!


    Oh! No! Think of what they could do!

    The best way to ruin proper kilts, is to get the fashion industry into them!


    ..................A large part of them are more interested in making a "statement" than producing clothes that are comfortable and look good!

    That Welsh National that Hamish is wearing is an outstanding tartan. Ham has is color coordinated to perfection. Very impressive! Certainly an option to think about, Berry.
