well...I'm jonesin' now, for the first time in....4 years!! thats right peeps four years! 5 years - 1 year = 4 years! 2 years + 2 years = 4 years! you get the picture!! or literature!
thanks to that inexpensive tartan thread leading to the clan plaid tartan fabric material store link that was placed, I had found, for first time, Morrison tartan! a little over 4 yards in length and I think its 56 in wide.
Do I hear a great kilt!?

Given the title, I was expecting a thread about wearing a fedora with the kilt, or maybe a good source for those khaki shirts ... oh well. 
Congratulations on your buy. It's great what you can find through this board. A different thread led me to military weight Robertson Red. Finding that rare tartan you've been looking for is a great feeling, isn't it?

I am not jonesing, yet, but I expect to be. I followed that link, and they have some of my tartan in a 16 oz, currently waiting for PayPal to get the money into my account so I can order it. (They already took it out of the checking account. mumble, mumble, mumble 
Then comes the wait while I accumulate the necessary shekels to pay Barb T to make it. . . . . I'll keep y'all up to date on the project.

Nick,
At your size that will be one heavily pleated Great Kilt.
