Current turnaround time?

Hi Bear,
I have one of your grizzly cut kilts and it is awesome! It was worth the wait and everyone loves it. Mine is in Maple Leaf. :o

What is your current turn around time for a grizzly cut, assuming you have the tartan in stock and everyone in your shop is healthy?

Also....can you reveal your main source for the poly-viscose fabric? I have a daughter who wants to give kilt making a try. She might end up working for you on this side of the world.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,
Turnaround time is coming down. I've been letting the seamstresses do the kiltmaking and concentrating on organising the business side if things. (Ordering fabric, keeping the books, etc.)
My source for poly/viscose is Marton Mills in England. The shipping is a killer! Maybe you'd like to buy some of the tartan I have in stock?
I have found out my Canadian tartan supplier is unable to ship fabric to the states.
I'm going to try to get the Make a Bear Kilt page finished shortly.
Drop me an e-mail and we can work something out.
Bear
