Good advice. Honest with the history and background of Irish kilts. Thank you.
I like how these lads give genuinely good advice with consideration for the buyer's wallet. As an Irishman I also appreciate the efforts for cultural preservation of Gaelic and wider Celtic Cultures. The kilt although definitely a Scottish invention is an excellent visual representation of Pan-Celtic Culture that really does stand out from the wider Western/Anglo Culture. I own and have a fondness for saffron kilts which pays homage to the Leiné worn by the Gaels of Ireland and Scotland prior to the Highlanders getting enduringly fancy.
Im a product of the biggest Irish name on one side and then Scottish on the other. I was originally under the impression you could only wear a tartan from your family line. After watching your videos I was happy to hear of all the options open to me.
I love my USA Kilt in County Leitrim for my O'Rourke ancestors. My great-great-great grandfather dropped the "O".
I'd just like to say as a Scottish person of Irish descent that we do have a very large number of people of Irish background in this country (thanks to 19th C immigration) and the tartan I see most often within that community at weddings etc is Irish National. Formerly they didn't wear kilts (no men in my family got married in a kilt) but they do now. Most kilt hire places keep kilts in Irish National in stock and one shop said it was particularly popular with Celtic FC fans but I don't support Celtic and I would happily wear it. I have never seen someone in a saffron kilt or similar in Scotland but I have a friend in Ireland who owns one
My family on my Mother's side is Irish Jewish. Briscoe (He's my great uncle.) So I have a Jewish Tartan Great Kilt with a Star of David mink Sporran and a Sgian Dubh with the hebrew letter for Family on it. I also had a matching Kippah.
Excellent segment!
Saffron color was banned by the Crown, back under Henry (?).
My father's family is from County Kildare, Ireland and my mother's family is Clan Lamont from Dunoon, Scotland. Among my collection of Tartans Is an Irish National Tartan kilt and a Saint Patrick Tartan. As a "compromise" between my Irish and Scottish ancestry, I also have a New World Celt Tartan utilikilt. I wear a kilt every day (except for the coldest days of winter here in New England) and have acquired a number of kits of different Tartans.
I'm the Karl who posed the question. Thanks for addressing it again.
I gave my niece enough scratch to get a casual (PV) kilt. During the show, Ian (the USA Kilts sales manager, for those not in the know) mentioned that the PV options were Ireland's National, Irish Heritage, and Tara / Murphy. (I own an Irish Heritage PV casual kilt, so I'm a bit biased.)
If my niece wants the wool options mentioned in this video … that's cool. But at the current "scratch" rate, she could get a wool kilt after two more Christmases. She's a teenager. If she has that patience, *kudos* to her. Frankly, patience is laudable. It's also *not* what I geared my gift around. (I'm a realist, not an optimist.)
But I gave my niece a gift certificate, so she can make her own decisions. I don't want her to make the choices I would. She's looking at her heritage, not mine.
Good on you Unc!
I would love that solid green kilt but you guys dont have it on your website
I don't know where exactly in Ireland my family is from my last name is most commonly found in county Meath and Kerry so ill look into the tartans there but I also might cuz I know at my renn faire there's a person who makes kilts so I probably will just get one there
Good evening, are saffron kilts reserved for the military (or veteran)?
Saffron kilts are available for anyone
Sweet video! What happened to your face?
My family name is Kennedy.
I had decendants on my father's side from Ireland and Scotland .
And Grandparents on my Mothers side was from England.
My mother's family name was Coe.
I don't live in Scotland, Ireland or England.
I don't have parents or Grandparents or any relations left to ask questions.
I just want to know know what is my family clan Tartan.
There's a few Kennedy tartans,
- so I'm confused.
Please can you help me to find out. ???? 🤔
As good looking as some of the Irish County tartans are, and as much as any business may want to offer them as an option, they will always be far less appealing to the true Irish spirit than clan representation. The idea of Irish clan tartans has far, far more resonance. Most Irish clans simply lack chiefs or active clan societies to legitimize clan tartans of their own, and therefore mills crank out the County tartans by default, which is sensible, yet much less appealing. Solid colors on the other hand, are solidly Irish, historically from the period of nationalist adoption.
