I am so close to making my dream kilt, and boy am I jonesing to do so.
I have wanted a MacArthur Modern kilt since I found tartan 14 years ago.

The only thing that has been holding me back is money. So for the last six months I have been pricing tartan from various mills. One problem, the MacArthur tartan is not a very popular tartan. The only one I could find really in my price range is from Marton Mills. I ordered a swatch; it's 16oz 110% wool. It seems very nice but I have heard that the selvedge is not always that great. Has anyone worked with their JURA line?

Are there any other mills that do fill small orders? I have checked DC Dagliesh and Fraser & Kirkbright but it seems that I have to order much more then I need (because they don't carry MacA Mod normally). I did wander over to the sites of the big 3 mills (H of E, Lochcarron and Strathmore) but their prices were way out of my league!

Thanks for any advice,
Sara
