Hard to find Tartans

[arrogcow]

DC Daglish has been brought up few times. Barb mentioned to me that you can get a single kilt length (16 oz. custom weave) at a pretty decent price. That's a thought too...

That's $65/yard and only single width.

Getting a group (like x-marks) makes it effectively $22/yard for single width.

I'm not sure where you're getting the $65/yard from. I've ordered custom weaves from them, and it's not that much. I'm not sure of their current prices, but I paid less than 20 pounds sterling a yard when I had a custom weave done a couple of years ago. But, yes, it is single width.

Bottom line Jeramiah - ITS WORTH IT!

At age 21 you'll have it the rest of your life...or maybe you should order two...one your current size and one ballooned out like most of olde geezers do.

You're gonna love it!

And, hey, wool ain't just for formal occasions...our ancestors wore it daily.

The biggest problem is the dough, and I'm not exactly entering a profession known for the money! (I intend to be a professor and minister) I could'nt afford a 500-600 kilt, and it will be some time before I could. That's why I think these poly kilts are so great and why I wear a lot of modern kilts, because frankly tanks are expensive. I couldn't even afford an R-kilt, my dear mum financed that little joy. It is no big deal, I will manage, there are still plenty of universal tartans to wear.

If I were you I would save up my money for a tank and be patient, rather than buying a more common tartan or poorly made kilt that you won't be as happy with. Sooner or later you will get the one you want. I speak from experience.

Great advice - as with many things, it's better to be patient and wait, rather than to "satisfice" one's Jones...

Cant' find it right now, but I have both seen that figure here and on websites what said, "We can have anything woven for you".

Barb is thinking in "wholesale prices" while the website Adam saw was in "retail prices".
