Best of luck Nick, I hope it works out.

I don't have much influence, other than the periodic purchase, but will do what I can to assist at those times.

I do have a question though, I have always wondered why the Reproduction tartans are only available, in stock, in 11oz fabric? Am I correct in assuming that there are a lot more non-kilt orders for skirts, plaids etc. than for kilts ? Kilts being my primary interest, I understand that I don't have the whole tartan market picture, but from my/our perspective it seems that those tartans would be stocked in kilt weight material, and special order for the lighter weight. Personally, when purchasing a kilt length of one of my clan tartans (MacMillan Old Weathered), I chose a competing mill because they stocked it in 16oz. The equivalent material from Dalgliesh, in that weight, was a special order with considerable cost increase and time delay, although they stocked it in 11 oz.

Is my assumption about market size for kilts vs. skirts correct?


Best wishes for your success,

Brooke
