    You are correct, My poor arithmetic skills are showing.
    You would think my engineering degree would count for something huh?
    Anybody got a spare slide rule?

    14oz
    less than 55 mtrs.= $57.00cdn = $48.00usd
    more than 55 mtrs. = $47.00cdn = $40.00usd

    16oz.
    less than 50 mtrs. = $62.00cdn = $53.00usd
    More than 50 mtrs. = $52.00cdn = $44.00usd

    For some reason I cannot edit my original post. I had all these figures corrected and it just got hung up saving. Then the phone rang and all your guys cought my mistakes.

    Modify request

    After reading Alan's thread about measuring for length, and assuming that the sett of the 16 oz w/b slightly larger than the 14 oz (perhaps 6.5") I'm revising my request downwards to 4 meters from 4.5.

    I'll edit my original commitment post to avoid confusion.

    Here is the current tally as I see it. If I have forgotten anyone just say so:

    H. Hastings = 4.0
    Splash4 = 5.0
    Retro Red = 2.0
    Ruantdh = 5.5
    Cloves = 4.0
    Warhoover = 5.0
    Turpin = 4.0
    Way2Fractious = 3.0
    sjrapid = 9.0
    Discobubba = 4.0
    Steeplechase = 3.0
    Mark Keney = 5.0
    Panache = 4.0
    McWage = 3.0

    TOTAL = 60.5

    I may increase mine by 2 more meters. Not sure at his time.

    But we are over the 50 meters threshold.

    I'm still in but I need to decide if I need to up my order to 3.5 or 4 (formal knife pleat) or reduce it to 2 (box pleat) will confer with my kiltmaker Friday.

    I can relate Panache, thinking of adding 2 more meters myself, so I can have one of each ! I am seriously leaning that way. I guess Steve will need to be the one to finally say lets go, since he is the one in contact with the weaver and he is busy I am sure.

    Turpin,
    I assumed that it was understood we were ordering the 16 oz. cloth based on their standard metre not converting to the yard. If so then we are over the mark by 3 metres! Steve's numbers are based on dollar/meter. I think converting to yards complicates it way too much. We end up coming out with a little more length in the long run sticking with the measurement in meters.

    I think the order is by the meter (anyone object).
    I am DEFINATELY in for 3 ($132 US+ Steves costs).
    I might bump that up to 4, if finances allow when the "order date" if upon us ($178 US+ Steve's expenses).
