    Tartan price

    Is $65 CDN ($58) / yard a good price for Lochcarron 16 oz. double width?

    I would think so. I think I paid about that for XMarks tartan from Frasier & Kirkbright (with the group discount) and abt $65 American for cloth from DC Dalgiesh & Sons of Selkirk for the Carolina Tartan in my Matt Newsome box pleat. Sounds like a good deal to me.

    Yes. Where did you find it? That's essentially wholesale price.

    But remember that you might be charged duty if you are ordering from Canada!

    I thought NAFTA took care of duties between USA and Canada? I wasn't charged duties for the material I bought from F&K.

    And I would also like to know where to find it at this price.

    But Lochcarron is a Scottish company, not a Canadian company. F&K is a Canadian company.

    is that price per square yare or for double-width cloth? i typically see it for $80-$88 retail per linear double-width meter.
