Frugal Corner: A REVIEW

[Kilted-Marine]

you know when you go to arby's and order a sandwich they always weigh it out on the scale.. i just had a mental picture or some fabric shop laying tartan material on a small scale.

I will take a royal stewart in 16 oz with a side of 13 oz black watch.

I'm going to refrain from any further posts on this thread. I will not get into a pissing contest with anyone here.

If anyone has any heartburn with what I have posted you may PM me, e-mail me at steve@freedomkilts.com or call me on my personal cell, no. (250)889-0289.

I actually do weigh the fabric I receive in my shop and verify that, to what is advertised.

I also know how much thread is used for a kilt, how many buttons or straps are on each kilt, and what my packaging materials weigh. That's how I keep track of the actual cost of my kilts and how I control the retail price.

I'll make you a deal. Order one of my kilts, Tell me the Measurements, Model, & options you want and I'll post here what your kilt will weigh when you receive it. If I'm off by more that 3 oz. either way I'll refund your purchase price and the kilt is yours for free.

ROFL, I got the same mental picture!

For those of us that don't know, what exactly does the weight mean? Is it how much 1 sq yard weighs or is it 1 yd of kilt width or is it the weight of a spool of yarn or what?

If I recall, its weight per yard, double width (is it 52"?).

If that's correct, then its the weight of a 36"x52" section of material.

right now we have two chunks of material, 5 yards of Wallace, and 5 yards of Minnesota State. it is 13 oz (or darned close to it) BUT WHAT DO I KNOW. It is 52 inches wide and a yard is... well..three feet long...lol

so this is 15 feet x 52 inches

I was going to list it on ebay at 9.75 but will sell it to the first xmark person that emails me for 9 a yard plsu $12 shipping (USA)
