    Latest eBay find

    A couple of weeks ago I was surfing eBay and found a length of MacKinnon red fabric (about 8 yards). As that is my surname, I decided to go ahead and do a buy-it-now option and sit back and wait for it. As I need 9 yards for a tank, I have decided to have a Newsome box pleat made.

    One of the pleasant surprises with this particular tartan was that it was the purple stripe variant instead of the standard blue stripe. I am so excited to get this made that I wonder if I can bribe Matt to do it earlier?

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    It was listed as 16oz and compared and that feels about right.
