A New Tartan Design - Comments?

[Morgan of Seattle]

Who is going to produce the tartan for you?

Hi English Bloke,

The Scotweb Store has a new and pretty cool setup for this. They have a new online software tool for designing tartan (which I used to create this one) and then they will custom weave the cloth and produce many of their products from it as well. There is a minimum 10 yard order for custom woven cloth. So for example, you could order an 8 yard kilt and then buy 2 yards of material, or perhaps a necktie and a scarf or two. The prices appear to average about 25% higher than for "off the shelf" tartans.

As members of XMTS we also have a standing 10% discount by clicking the ad at the top of these pages. A nice thing! I will of course follow up with a full review once I've actually had this tartan produced.

The other question is whether one wants to register the tartan with the Scottish Tartans Authority. That is a separate process. I am going to do that with this one, and will review that here as well.

Cheers,
Philip
