    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.
