Torn Between Two Tartans

[Cygnus]

Yes, now I remember. It’s a Mary Macgregor song.

Torn between two tartans, feelin' like a fool
Lovin' both of them is breakin' all the rules

No, it was the Oak Ridge Boys:

Torn between two tartans
Is like a ball and chain.
Tryin' to choose between 'em
Is drivin' me insane!
One has pretty colors,
The other's got my name.
It's a long, hard grind
And it tires my mind.

Ha!

Sums up about how I feel!

Alright, here's another thought. What if you got a box-pleated kilt, which only uses around 4 yards of fabric? That would bring the price down a little, and you'd have something truly unique.

That is something that I'm considering, though a number of the places I'm looking at have a minimum length for custom-weave jobs; those that don't tend to be a bit on the pricier side and for 30%-40% more, I could get an 8-yard kilt from another reputable kilt maker (the two I'm comparing weigh in at about $500 for the four yard and $630 for the eight). That's double the kilt for not much more...

...though this has gone a bit beyond the bounds of mere tartan selection.

Hopefully I'll have decided a course of action once my pennies add up a bit more.

Thank you!
