Hi, All,

I purchased several meters of the X marks tartan with the damaged selvedge months ago (2-3 price jumps ago) from Fraser & Kirkbright. It was clear what I was using it for. I was rather disappointed to find that many folks since then have reported they bought yardage subsequently that had usable edges...I realize I got it at a discount for a reason, but this is pretty bad.


I have talked to F & K about this. I have always gotten impeccable service from them but their response this time was pretty much "tough luck." I know I bought damaged goods, but this is worse than I was led to believe. Out of 6linear yards the longest bit that is any good is less than a foot. It is chewed up the whole rest of the way just like this. And there is discoloration a few inches up from the selvedge on the fabric as well. I just wanted to alert you all that if you buy some it may not have the great selvedge folks have been discussing.
