    California Tartan wool Kilt

    I have an order pending for a 4 yard kilt in the California Tartan. This is a repeat customer, so I'm asking around for him to see if there are any interested people to help him get his kilt.
    As a special order tartan, there is a minimum quantity, so I need another 4 yard kilt order or an 8 yard kilt order before I can order the fabric.
    Even if I ordered only 8 yards of the fabric, two 4 yard kilts would leave me with 8 yards of single width fabric left over. (I can make four 4 yard kilts with 8 yards of fabric.)
    It will be Merino wool, 13oz, made by Fraser & Kirkbright.
    So, anyone want a California tartan kilt in wool?

    Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhh hhhhhhh......

    I WANT one.

    ........But I struck a deal with my lady. I have to finish up the X Marks tartan kilt before I order anything else.

    Bear, if I were to buy just the material.... say four-six yards of the fabric itself, what would that run me?

    I'm not allowed to sell unworked fabric outside of Canada without an exporter's license. Even my supplier of Canadian tartans doesn't sell outside of Canada because the license is expensive and the paperwork is ridiculous.

    Call it a great kilt on the invoice and send it. You're not selling fabric.
