Massive new tartan range - please comment!

Nick, I think it will be great when the bugs are ironed out. Searched for Fitzgibbon and it was not there but is registered with STA.

I've not managed to find this Andy, either in our own databases or on the STA site. I've got Fitzgerald, Fitzpatrick, and Fitzsimmons, but no Fitzgibbon. Do you know an STA reference? Sorry not to be more helpful.

Fitzgibbon is No. 6919.

Aye,

NICE, you even have my favourite, Columba tartan! (not cheap tho')

[M. A. C. Newsome]

The X Marks tartan is #6679 in the International Tartan Index. Brian Wilton informed me that it was mistakenly left out of the on-line version of the software, but it should be up on the STA site in 2 weeks or so.

Thanks for the info about the X Marks tartan - I'll see if we can get it added soon. Can anyone confirm whether it's available for us to weave, or should we mark it as copyright? We'll also be addressing the other comments and I'll reply further next week.

As for the price of the Columba one Graham, it does of course cost a bit more for us to get a short piece woven for just one kilt (though it would be cheaper in greater lengths). But it's actually not much more than some premium tartans off the shelf, and under the circumstances we feel not a bad price for a garment that might well be the only one in the world! Surely better than it not being available at all? Go on, you know you want it... ;-)

you're right Nick, I do want it, it's on my very short list for another kilt.

Great, now I have to choose between you guys ant Matt Newsome if I ever get the massive amount of cash together that I'd need for a Colorado tartan kilt. Thanks a lot.

Seriously, good job, and congratulations on the new range.

The main changes are:

1. We now offer the ENTIRE tartans list from the Scottish Tartans Authority, available woven to order in single kilt lengths at 11oz or 16oz (unless copyright). This effectively trebles our existing (large) range.


Thanks

Nick

I have sent email direct to you Nick via your website, I look forward to an early reply.

I just tried it from work and it still does not load, we run IE 6 on Window XP Pro here.
