The Welsh have tartans and some wear kilts. The Edwards tartan (Edwards by the way is apparently an English name by origin although very popular in Wales and usually thought of as Welsh) is a very dowdy tartan and not at all to my liking. I've lived in the Western Isles for the majority of my life so I use the Western Isles Modern tartan.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-80666946745756998712018-05-29T09:45:04.918+01:002018-05-29T09:45:04.918+01:00Thank you for leaving some very interesting commen...Thank you for leaving some very interesting comments Graham. One in particular comment of yours provokes me to ask what clan tartan is it that is aligned with the surname of Edwards because I have always thought that name was Welsh.

I have worn it in extreme conditions ever since. I will pass it on to my son or grandson. I almost always wore a waistcoat with my suits at work and I still have a variety of waistcoats that I wear with sports jackets. I only wear a suit for funerals, Of course I also wear a waistcoat with my kilt. The rest of the time I wear a gilet which is, of course, a variation on the theme. However none of my waistcoats or gilets have ever aspired to your level of individuality which is splendid.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-15308733729019937122018-05-26T05:58:10.664+01:002018-05-26T05:58:10.664+01:00Many thanks Anon and have an enjoyable evening.Many thanks Anon and have an enjoyable evening.A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069061569253153388.post-33860560185190548812018-05-26T05:57:16.463+01:002018-05-26T05:57:16.463+01:00Ha' ha' ha' !
