Looking for tartan

[Barb T]

Hi folks

All of Celtic Originals' tartans were woven by D.C. Dalgliesh and they are Dalgliesh's standard 11-12 oz weight. It is beautiful tartan, and it's the fabric in the Antarctica and Arctic kilts that I made (pics posted in a previous thread). Makes a very nice light medium weight kilt. Selvedge is not kilting, but a hem looks fine and adds some weight for swing.

I hadn't heard that Ros Jones was ill and had given up the business. You might try calling Angie at D.C. Dalgliesh and see if she knows where the tartan can be obtained. Dalgliesh doesn't have an e-mail address (unless they've gotten one very recently and I haven't heard about it). Dalgliesh's phone is 011-44-1-750-20781

Thanks Barb, sounds like you are aware of the situation much more than I.
thanks Matt for the info too, I'll see if I can look further.

Nice looking tartan! I also like the Jones at the top. Question for whoever knows, the description for the Jones says for any person, or place, bearing the name Jones. Would that preclude me, not being of Jones descent that I know and not living in a place called Jones (although I am always jonesing for new kilts!) wearing that tartan? I think it is very nice and fits with my style and color preferences, but I would not want to offend anybody if I wore it.

Many people prefer to wear tartans to which they have some relationship. But there are no Tartan Police who will call you on wearing a tartan to which you don't have a familial relationship. As long as you wear it respectfully, I doubt that anyone will fault you for it.

Graham,

If you are interested in a four yard kilt, see if you can get it woven in Dalgleish's 16 oz weight instead of the 11 oz. You won't regret it.

Wanna bet? There are plenty of them. The good news is, they have no authority, and we can ignore them.
