    Marton Mills:

    You're right, It seems to be a "looking at", rather than a "tells you stuff" website and not simple to navigate.

    Have I got this right?

    Jura = 16oz Wool
    Bute = 13oz Wool
    Glamis = 11oz Wool

    Steve? Which one is the PV range?

    Where do you find the prices per yard? I'm assuming there is a difference between trade (bulk) and retail (one off kilt lengths).

    How wide is the fabric? (single / double / both)

    Forgive my higgorance but this is stuff I'd need to know if I was looking to buy 8 yards from them... Do they even sell one offs direct to Joe Public?

    It is nice fabric though. My Randonnée Bretonne (Brittany Walking) is 13oz Marton Mills special weave. It makes a lovely Kilt.

    EB, if you go to the Marton Mills site, click on Schoolwear, then on the left hand side , click on Balmoral, it will bring up all the P V tartans (79 of them)

    As for cost, I couldn't find anything. I think the average punter can buy direct ( I think someone mentioned in a thread at sometime)

    As for width of the fabric, I am sure one of the kiltmakers here will chime in

    All the best for your project

    Where do you find the prices per yard? I'm assuming there is a difference between trade (bulk) and retail (one off kilt lengths). You have to telephone them, but if you are ever interested let me know!

    How wide is the fabric? (single / double / both) double width

    Thanks Downunder, Thanks Paul. It was only after I'd posted that I realised Steve had linked to the Balmoral (PV) section. The rest is all useful though. Appreciated.
