    Harris Tweed kilt -- limited time!

    Hello all! I just found a lady who has 10 yards of Harris Tweed cloth (single width) on sale at a very good price.

    Well, she had fifteen yards, but I just bought up five yards for myself. So as of now (March 2) she has ten yards left -- enough for two of my box-pleated kilts.

    I've got the cloth pictured on my specials page:
    http://kilts.albanach.org/specials.html

    It's a nice charcoal grey with a brownish-pink line in the verticle and a dark green line in the horizontal. At her price, I can make a kilt for only $280. (And also as of March 2, I still have two $50 discount slots open, so if you act fast, you can get it for less than that).

    Anyway, once this cloth is gone, she tells me she cannot get more, so if you are interested let me know. And, please, contact me before you actually make payment so I can verify with her that the cloth hasn't sold yet and I can still get it.

    Thanks!
    Aye,
    Matt

    That would also make a really nice day jacket. Looking forward to seeing a kilt in that.

    Well, if anyone wants just plain cloth to have a jacket, waistcoat (or anything) made, I can put you in touch with my supplier...

    Matt, that is more tempting than you can know. Unfortuantely I am on finacial look down for a few months, so no material for me. Anyone looking to try and make a dayjacket (Bubba) this would be an awesome choice.

    Taken one order for a kilt already this afternoon. That means only one left in this tweed if anyone is thinking about it... also I have one of my $50 discount slots still open, so that would mean the kilt would only be $230 if you act now. :-)

    I'm not meaning to sound like a commercial, but since this is all of this particular fabric I can get, once it is gone, it is gone.

    Aye,

    Good grief, Ham! If you keep this up your kilt count will soon match your post count!
