Designing a Tartan

[kiltmonk]

Hi Alan,

I did this end of last year and had an extremely nice contact with Bonnie Heather. I designed my tartan with the online-designing tool from scotweb and had the tartan registered in May 2012. She contacted a weaver (I think it was D.C.Dagliesh, which belongs to scotweb) and did a very reasonable offer to me and it was a very nice contact, indeed. The main problem for me was, that the tartan cloth would be sent from Scotland to the US and then the kilt from the US to Germany. I took into consideration the cost for customs/duty and shipping -> and that was the show-stopper, so I had Paul Henry done this for me, the tartan cloth also came from D.C. Dagliesh (Scotland->UK->Germany). But for you, I think it would be worth a try with Bonnie Heather (Scotland->US->Can) and even with Paul Henry (Scotland->London->CAN, which I can really recommend, he did an awesome job with some nice, individual gimmicks eg. lining 'pipe related' as I'm a pipe smoker!!). Now I'm proud member of the inofficial PHKOC (Paul Henry Kilt Owners Club ;-) )

If you are at facebook, you can see quite a lot of the kilts, Paul Henry Kilts does. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Paul-...138226?fref=ts

A friend of mine, also here at xmarks, piipriker, did the same with scotweb.http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...arrived-74931/

Also a very nice kilt with perfect craftmanship. But at the time, I had an offer from them, they had raised their prices enormously. But also worth a try, at least to have an offer for price comparison.

Kind regards
