| | | How does D.C. Dalgliesh price its short runs?
Another poster has been mentioning that he would like some Stewart Old Sett Weathered, which would have to be a custom run. D.C. Dalgliesh will do short runs, so he could get what he needs. I would also like a kilt in that tartan, but am broke at the moment. My question is whether we would get a lower price per yard ordering enough for two kilts at one time, or whether I should just keep saving.
Anybody know?

Anybody know? | They won't respond to my inquiries, either.

Realistically you need to order a reasonable amount before you get discounts,they are wonderful at producing really good quality fabric, and that is worth the slightly higher price, I haven't got their list in fornt of me but I seem to remember that 10 yards double width is where it breaks the pricing point, I'll check and post later,unless someone beats me to it

To get a really signifigant discount you'd want to order 30 yards.
The great thing about Dalgliesh is that they will do single kilt length runs. A lot of the larger mills won't touch orders for anything under 30 yards; those that will do a minimum 10 yards will charge an arm and a leg.
And the reality is that if all you want is a kilt, you don't really want to pay for a whole bolt of fabric, no matter how great the per yard price is. So order just a single kilt length. Even though you may pay more per yard, you don't have to pay for excess fabric you don't want or need.

Anybody know? | Have you double-checked with Lochcarron to make sure that they do not have this available in a stock fabric? It's listed on their website, although that doesn't always guarantee that they have it available... http://www.lochcarron.com/tartanstro..._old_sett.html
Cordially,
David

Cordially,
David | No, John Hart (Sloihart) checked and confirmed that Lochcarron no longer has or weaves the Stewart Old Sett in weathered colors even though it is still shown on their website.
