    Carolina Tartan cloth is here!

    Attention all those who got in on the group order for the Carolina tartan this past January. Prepare to be teased!







    Some of you who ordered just the cloth (as opposed to a kilt made from it), may have already received your shipping notifications in your email.

    Woo-hoo!

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh man, I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I got in on that order. YIPEE!!!

    So, does this mean my kilt will also be ahead of schedule??

    Guard it with your life Mr. Newsome. That roll is like gold.

    Oh, and the lingering question: how many kilts are YOU going to be making from this?

    Wow! What a roll! It inspires questions like...Does one unroll it or, considering the reverent or excited feelings of all whose kilts are represented, does one unfurl it? ...Did it take a fork lift to pick it up? ...or the key question for most of us, for which we know there's no definite answer, when do I get mY kilt?!

    Well the moment has arrived, that is one impressive bolt sir. I wonder how far down my tartan is, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough, thanks for the update.

    I just love that tartan. Of course it is MY tartan.

    I guess this means that Matt and I won't be the only XMarkers with a Carolina kilt anymore.

    I suppose that's ok considering I have a Maple Leaf.

    Enjoy the jonesing folks.

    Matt wasn't:



    Now, I'll have 2.

    Interesting on how the Lochcarron and the Wilsons colours are so different.

    I count 3 in this picture, Dee! and only one of them was Matt... IN fact that was a fun picture, because 6 of the 9 kilties were wearing district tartans!



    Plus, the picture that started this whole process was yet another kilt, that of ScottInNewHampshire
