Custom dyes?
Thanks again to everyone, and especially the esteemed kilt-makers of our community, for your candid opinions!
I had been aiming for 16-18oz. cloth in the first place; so, that's reassuring. Relaxing pleats as a trade-off for a soft hand seems a balanced feature for a mill to base a brand on.
If my suspicions are correct, I will likely need custom dyed yarns to execute my design the way it is intended:
Do mills usually charge a heavy premium on custom dye-lots over-and-above the set-up costs for commissioned runs?

The spirit of the Declaration of Arbroath (6 April 1320) abides today, defiantly resisting any tyranny that would disarm, disperse and despoil proud people of just morals, determined to keep the means of protecting their families and way of life close at hand.
