    Right, I understand. When I said "cut out", I was talking about cutting the stitches to undo the apron facing, not actually cutting the cloth.

    Thanks for the tips.

    Tobus, I actually have a few left over meters of unused MOD no.2 QOH tartan from the 90's (I think) in a box, (somewhere??). If you are not in too much of a hurry, I could cut you off a small patch and just post it to you. That would confuse the customs men!

    Anything that confuses customs is good in my books. I love the look on their faces.
