Carolina Tartan

[Delta Six]

I'm ready to commit to enough WOB Carolina tartan for an eight yards knife pleated kilt and a waistcoat...with lapels.

Thanks again,
Craig

Gents,

There are several weaving options for this; Dalgliesh, Elliots or Lochcarron. The minimum order and width would depend on the level of interest. I will not use Marton Mill, their cloth is good and reasonably priced but Scottish weavers need supporting or we will wake up one day and find that there are none left. The other factor for me is that I prefer a selevedge rather than a tuck edge.

Based on single and double width, what is the interest?

I prefer double width and a true selvedge.

From what I know about the subject--me too.

As aforesaid, double-width, true selvedge. I'd prefer Dalgliseh to weave it, but if another weaver is less expensive, I'd vote for the less expensive.

Unfortunately Dalgliesh no longer weave double width with a selvedge, as opposed to a tuck-edge which is not a selvedge in the true meaning of the term.

Peter,

Of the Scottish mills that weave with a true selvedge, will any do double width? And if so, what would be the price per meter?

Certainly Eliots will, I'm not sure about Lochcarron any more. I will check and report back with the current price too.
