Remember the Saffron was first worn as a military kilt back in 1859 ish, so it had to be older than that, to represent the Irish. and the solid colored kilts can be seen in photos dated late 19th and early 20th centuries..Its the recent appearance of the Irish tartans that is the new addition to the kilting world.
