I've hestitated before posting this , but I felt as information to others it was important

I got a length of tartan before Christmas after rather drawn out telephone conversations chasing delivery times from Dalgleish, but I was very happy to finally get it!

Now that I've started to make the kilt I find some flaws which make me question the quality control.
This looks like a repaired broken thread, but it is fairly heavy and clumsy , it's not the end of the world as it will be in the fold of a pleat, so bearable


long thread ends, all on the same(wrong)side at least but they should have been trimmed in the finishing, so again bearable


But this is the one which annoyed me most, the selvedge is very uneven along most of the cloth,but with steam, pressing and pulling and easing I can make it better, but I shouldn't have to, neither should any other kiltmaker.


I suppose I am disappointed more than annoyed, all the previous cloth I have had from them has been very good, and this frankly isn't up to their usual standard. There isn't much that can be done about this, it was a special run, with special colours, and to be fair the actual cloth feels fine, but , to me, it has certainly taken the shine off a great project.
