Hállo Gents,
I am looking for tartan fabric in Shaw Hunting, Ancient Shaw or Shaw Dress
to make a Breacan Feile [great kilt] to wear to the Stone Mountain Highland Games in October...

Anyone have these tartan fabrics for sale???

As far as I can tell the Shaw tartan can be ordered through the STM.

Greetings Brother, 3 August, 705pmMST

I am a Shaw also, in SW Idaho, and wanted to say hello.

Get in touch with my regular fabric source in Selkirk The Borders, Mr. Gerald Reilly.

glencorbie1@btinternet.com

He may be able to fix you up with what you want. He got me a piece of the Shaw of Tordarroch Red-Old Colors, for a knife pleat kilt. It took him a while, but he found it, and he sells below retail too. He is a good guy to work with, ships promptly and tell him I sent you.


Fide et Fortitudine, aye!

For what it's worth, "dress" tartans are associated with the woman's historical arisaid garment. In other words, it's "dress" like a woman wears, vice "dress" meaning more formal (dress blues, etc...).

My humble suggestion is to stay away from the dress tartan. I'm guessing it's probably a custom-weave, anyway, so it's probably a moot point. Best of luck!

Cordially,

David

Geb Reilly is who I usually buy fabric from, this is one of his listings. It is a double-width piece four yards long. Don't know if it is enough for a great kilt.

Regards aye,

I found the Tartan I was hunting! It is Shaw of Tordarroch Green and is supplied
by me own Clan Shaw for $25 per yard. Sounds like a wee deal to me
