Hello all,

Well, it's here. I have the two rolls of the fabric in my shop and have done a quick look over of it.

The Selvedge damage is not as bad as I first thought is was going to be. I haven"t yet found a place where it is deeper than the folded area of the selvedge proper.

This fabric will however need to be shipped in single width only. The side with the damage seems to be perfectly good for a kilt with a folded hem. I did a quick test to see how a hem would look and I think it will be fine. I also cannot see any areas where stress has caused distortion to the Sett. With a Tartan is is pretty easy to see if the fabric has been stressed. You just lay a straight edge on the lines of the pattern and if they are curved the fabric has been stressed since it came off the loom. I do not see that here.

Thank you all for the responses by PM, e-mail and phone. I will be contacting each of you individually to insure everyone gets a fair deal on what you paid for.

As I get responses from each of you I will begin to cut and ship out.
