Old Culloden Tartan thread...

[Derek Conley]

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post; I hope I'm correct.

Anyhow, I find myself still quite curious whatever happened to the idea first presented at the end of 2008 in the thread entitled Custom-Run of Original Culloden Tartan.

I was quite excited at the time to see if this was going to move forward... I'm holding out some sort of hope.

Don't know about the previous thread but I'm the one that rediscovered the original jacket & am in the process of having some woven up at the moment.

I'm still interested in enough fo a box pleat
can we get enough people together this time to place an order?

I've been gone for a while, so I'm not quite following what you mean about rediscovering the original jacket...

Joe: I'd still be interested, without a doubt.

There was never enough interest to justify a double-width run. Minium order for Dalgliesh to weave DW is 16 yards, that's only 4 kilts (or 8, if 4yd box pleats...

I think we can get enough interest to make a 16 yard run

How much are we talking per yard?

[Derek Conley]

I was interested in 2 at the time and could probably justify 4 now.

[Joe Gondek]

Ok, I will go for 3 yards double or 4 single
as I see it we have;

Me 3 yards
Derek 4 yards
davidlpope 2 yards

Thats 9 yards spoken for

there were other people interested on the old thread to add another 8 yards if they are are still interested

Sir William
CelticRanger
pdcorlis
Fougasse
JRB
Tartan Hiker
Tattoo Bradley

all showed an interest

I think that we could do this with a little effort

If Matt Newsome would allow us to PAY PAL the money to him and he could place the order when it we get the total needed.
