    It's kind of impossible to have an exclusive on a family tartan that's not copyrighted. They carry the Crawford b/c their supplier in Pakistan weaves it. Our supplier int he UK does not, so we can't carry it unless dozens of Crawfords were to request it (like we did with the MacGregor, US Army and US Navy tartans)... then we can do a special run of it.

    Hope this hleps to clarify!

    What- no Colorado state?!?!

    It's great that you make it a point to get all these tartans, Rocky. I have no connection personally to any of the new ones, but I know plenty of others do, and will get use from them.

    About how many requests do you need to do have a special run made? I would love to have a USAKilt pv Leatherneck, and there are a bunchaton of Jarheads on this board.

    If we can get an order of 20 or more kilts together, I'd be willing to do a special run in this tartan. If you (or anyone else) are just looking for a very basic kilt in the Leatherneck tartan, Jerry at SWK has it in Acrylic in his thrify and standard models.

    Oops! I should have paid more attention to the details. I do plan to order some of their acrylic tartan for a table dressing, but I am not sure I want to wear it. I think I will stick to my wool (or a blend) until something of higher quality than acrylic comes along.

    These are not Acrylic. They are polyviscous. Rocky would get my clan tartan in P/v. 2 more kilts to be added to the kollection. There will be another real soon.

    I wish he had the police officers tartan in PV. It is a great looking tartan.
