Custom Weave of Welsh Tartan

[mohughes5150]

I hope this is in the correct area to post. I have been given permission to have my Welsh family tartan woven by another weaver. I want 16oz and maybe a blend done. The blend would be for a more casual kilt and probably for my sons who are younger. I would use the 16oz for a full 8 yard kilt etc. I was told about this weaver in Alaska http://www.tartanweaver.com/ and wonder if anyone has any experience with them. I tried contacting Marton Mills in Otley England, but have not heard back. I am willing to pay a bit more for higher quality. I don't need 30 yards of fabric. I would like to keep the order as small as possible. Like maybe only 12 yards, double width. This is the first time ordering a custom weave for me. So any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I have not. Do you have contact info for them? Thanks. Nevermind. I found them. Thanks Google.

I would be interested to hear of their 'average' price if either gentlemen are able to supply please? (I am confident each weave will be different of course, but a ball park would be appreciated).

I'm not sure as I have a trade account with them.

No problem, but thank you anyway.

I was quoted $80/yard for double width. by Andrew Eliot. That is quite less than I was expecting. That is 16oz

Thank you - that is considerably less than I would have expected too!
