A question for our Irish kiltie brothers

[flairball]

Ayin, You actually gave me a thought out intelligent answer. Thank you. Your ancestors creating the Riley tartan is quite a connection. The fact that they were kilt wearer too is quite a connection as well. Kilt wearers in Ireland weren't too common. You must have a strong family.

Please post a swatch of the Riley tartan. I've been unable to find it. A sur-name search directed me to the Tara tartan, which is quite handsome. Is this the same?

I thank you for that, and I do apologize if I came off too defensive. Here is a swatch of the Riley Family Tartan that I found. I hadn't seen the Tara Tartan before, so i just looked it up for a quick look. I plan to go back and read more on it, is it the same as the Murphy tartan?

It looks similar to the Tara/Murphy, but the colors are a bit different. This could be because of my computer.

Here is the Murphy/Tara tartan (and my brown Freelander):

I really like that plaid. It has very bold colors in it. Thanks for sharing!
