I would think that a special run would be the only way to get ahold of a length of the Carolina tartan. I have been interested in joining in on a special run of that sett for some time. I'm still...

Dear OC Richard,

My heart skipped a beat when I read that you were selling a couple of sporrans -- I skipped two when I saw the photo.
Hopping against hope that it was your lovely goat hair,...

Sounds good to me, I'm in, at about 5 pm. Subject to traffic.

Craig

Subject to scheduling--I'm in.

Craig

That would be great! I'll be at the tent starting about 1 pm -- I'm looking forward to it!

I shall be there, mostly at the Saint Andrew's Society of Mid-Maryland tent.

And, I'll be looking for a suitable dandelion on the way in--good idea! :)

Craig

Ah well, that’s completely understandable. Although I’m ready to commit to enough material for an 8 yard and a waistcoat, there maybe a little less than sufficient enthusiasm for this particular...

As davidlpope said, a number of the good folks here have expressed a strong interest in the Carolina Tartan and as I understand it, Mr. MacDonald has been working up a run in Wilson's of Bannockburn...

(although New Market is almost all the way to Frederick)

True that. :wall:

I live in Dundalk now so Frederick is something of a drive.

Still, I think it would be fun and I would try to join in when scheduling permitted.

Another consideration might be to find a place...

From what I know about the subject--me too.

Thanks again,
Craig

As much as I like the idea of a muted color way of the Carolina Tartan, David your kilt photo has won me completely over to the WOB colors. Along with that brown tweed jacket, looking very sharp!...

Just to be clear, I am looking for the official, Peter MacDonald designed, Carolina Tartan.

I would love to have a kilt in the WOB color scheme of this tartan, but that looks to be not in the...

I am very interested, in whatever variant of the official Carolina Tartan!

My Scots heritage comes directly out of Mitchell County and I have been waiting a while for this opportunity.

There seems to be a plethora of Airborne Infantrymen around here.
What is it about parachutes and kilts?

Now I'm homesick!

"Badgers? We don't have no badgers. We don't need no stinking badgers!"

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Life is short and this is such a beautiful sett--is it still possible to get in on this run?

Never mind what I said before. :doh:

You guys are making it very difficult on me--I really like this sett :think:
but, I think I'm going to hold out for a Carolina Tartan weave!

Thanks,
