Steve, I'm still interested, but right at this moment I'm a bit short on money.A lot of things like car insurance came due at just about the same time.

Oh, she said she'd do me a box pleat kilt for $325. She's the lady that trained in Scotland under the old line kiltmakers and has all her certifications. www.kathyskilts.com

Just to avoid confusion, this would be for a modern-day militray style box pleat, which takes just as much yardage as any modern kilt would (i.e. an average of 8).

This is not what I commonly refer to on the board as a box-pleated kilt, in the style of the original tailored kilts. These are "true" box pleats, meaning that the depth of the pleats is (more or less) half the size of the boxes, and takes about 4 yards of cloth.

I have just heard from Gordon Kirkbright.

The X Marks Tartan fabric is off the loom.
We should have enough for everyone's orders, and to send a sample to Matt Newsome and a piece to Hank.

He will ship it to me tomorrow or Wed. via DHL. (Too large for Postal Service.)

I'll let everyone know just as soon as I have it in the shop.

The jonesing has shifted into high gear.

Everyone break out Barb's book.

I exchanged emails with Gordon last week (regarding another matter) and he said that the Xmarks tartan looked great, and he was sure it would be well received. Looking forward to pictures.
