Kilt Kamp 2015 - who's up for it?

[suzicooks]

Thanks so much! I see that it says it's a "mirrored" symmetry. I'm guessing that's good? And, if my cousin decides to go with this instead of the traditional MacNaughton, is it something I can get through Freedom Kilts, or do I need to get it from Dalgliesh?

You should be able to order it through Freedom Kilts. Send Steve an e-mail at steve@freedomkilts.com (although he might see this note and chime in). Welcome to the addiction of kiltmaking.

Sorry to pop in on the thread, but Suzie, we'd all love an introduction post in the Newbie section of the forum so we could extend a formal welcome to you being a new member here on XMTS....

Hi Suzi

You'd need to get the tartan from someone like Steve, because Dalgliesh only sells wholesale to the trade.

And definitely - a tartan that is symmetric makes it much easier to make a kilt!!

Suzi, if you would drop me a line and let me know which Tartan you would like I would be happy to do some looking around among my sources for you.

If you want the Dress Tartan you mentioned I think it may be available only in 11oz weight and as a special order. I doubt there is any actually sitting on a shelf.

11oz fabric is on the light side for a man's kilt but would be perfect for a ladies skirt made like a kilt.

It's actually a stock weave at Dalgliesh (it's one of their dance tartans), and it is 11 oz. See my post on the previous page:

"The tartan is woven by D C Dalgliesh in 11 oz weight, and you can see the tartan at http://www.dcdalgliesh.co.uk/fabric/603078. Click the "Specifications" tab, and you'll see that the sett size is 17.9 cm, which is 7"."
