Non clan tartan deals, with one hitch--HOS

[ForresterModern]

Fo those who want nothing to do with the Gold Brothers' businesses read no further---yup, just close the thread and move on.

Otherwise, anyone intersted in what appear to be a couple decent deals on 16oz tartan in one of two Heritage of Scotland tartans should check out the two following ebay listings by their ebay store for their store brand HOS tartan and their store brand Heritage Black tartan, each for about 16gbp ($25US) per meter DW plus 10gbp shipping (normal price is 31gbp/m plus s/h to us ferners):

I kinda like the Heritage Black myself and would definitely consider wearing it, despite the HOS/Gold Bros connection, and figured some others might like the deals. Not bad to get 4 meters DW 16oz tartan for $102US plus another $16 shipping. Especially for those wanting to get into a heavyweight wool kilt at a reasonable price, this huge discount on tartan (compared to say $75 a yard for Strome) could put you in a handmade kilt at a reasonable price if you worked with one of the many kiltmaker on the forum to have them do the labor of the build up.

Only concern is that they will not list who is the manufacturer of the tartan---simply that it is custom woven for the HOS/Gold Brothers, but no by whom or where.
