'brithwe Dewi Sant' (St. David's Speckled cloth/plaid) and 'sgrepan' instead of sporran. I am thinking of buying a Cilt but at the price they are asking I was hoping for some feedback first from any of you lads who had tried a Kilt/Cilt out.

It was hand made by Maria Morrisey at the Celtic Clotheshorse in Austin, Texas. She sourced the tartan from Cambrian Woolen Mills in Wales. I've been a big cilt enthusiast for many years and have a website: My Webpage. This is not a commercial website and I don't sell anything so my comments below are not commercially motivated! There are many Welsh that scoff at the idea of Welshmen wearing cilts, and the claims to a long and ancient history of cilt-wearing in Wales is dubious at best. However, I like the idea of Welshmen wearing cilts, even if it has no historic pedigree. Its fun and they look great! when i wear my kilt I feel more connected to my Welsh celtic heritage. Welshmen need more symbols of our heritage. Why should only Welsh women have a national costume or identity? Besides, the so called national costume of Wales was a new invention not too long ago. Why shouldn't we invent one for us men now? So, I say go ahead and get that cilt, and wear it proudly as a symbol of your heritage and pride. Cheers! Chris P.S. - I have placed an order for my second cilt in Welsh National tartan.
