In the interest of fairness I should report that William James of Celtic Craft Centre sent me a detailed email explaining the issues concerning the tartan we originally had wanted. Apparently it's a custom weave if we wanted to get it in a heavy weight fabric. Though not explained by his employee at the time of order and though some sort of break down happened with the order he has offered to be very obliging in an attempt to make things right and satisfy the customers (my bro-in-law and me) - since it's a custom weave it could take a veeeeeery long time to get - sometime in early 2010. So chances are we'll just keep what we have and ponder ordering another
