Yes...Wales does rule :-) But I am partial cause I have a Welsh family line as well. I agree with you on the Tartan with the Dragon on it. I am saving up for it as we speak.

You might have seen it already, but just in case, check out www.welsh-tartan.com. Lots of cool stuff on there.

I have the St. David's tartan kilt (Brithwe Dewi Sant), complete with a dragon pin, in my Kollection:
but I think I draw the line at the ysgrepan, which looks as if it needs a haircut - the Freelander looks so much neater!

Ok, now I am confused. I like this kilt very much but is it really a tartan? The verticle stripes are not the same as the horizontal.

Many Welsh tartans do not have the same thread count in the warp and weft. (ie: the lines are different vertical than they are horizontal).

Me too Ham - they look far too shaggy for my taste.
The Welsh Tartan Centre had a stand at the Royal Welsh Show in July and the chappie manning it was sporting a St Davids Tartan Cilt and a Ysgrepan.
I asked him out of curiousity if I could have a peek inside it and he duly obliged. It has a similar storage capacity to the Sporran but I just couldn't find it aesthetically pleasing and told him I still preferred my sporran (which I was of course wearing with my kilt). I think he was pleased though to see someone else actually in a kilt though.
They do offer a sporran with the Welsh Dragon embossed on it, however, and I might be tempted at some stage to obtain one, preferably along with my first Welsh Tartan Cilt!

This is the sporran I got to go with my Welsh Edwards cilt:
