    Folks, We don't even have any of this fabric in hand yet.

    May I please ask that if you are interested in some of this first run that you send me an email at the shop. I'll put you on a list and when the fabric arrives and I've had a chance to get some pics up I'll go down the list in order. You can then tell me if you are still interested after seeing the pics of the actual fabric.

    I never intended this thread to become a sales pitch. I'm happy that so many like this tartan and wish to have some. Let's just be realistic and wait till about the first week of Aug when the fabric should arrive.

    Oh great! Way to be a tease. Of anybody, you clearly should have know what your post and the photos would do. You may claim innocence, but that cannot be believed.

    I know it's not 1 August yet, but is there any word from the mill?

    I think I should be cruel and make you wait till the 1st Geoff.

    I sent an update request to the weavers just today. It is one week till Kilt Kamp and I'm starting to wonder if I will have fabric for the Kamp.

    Thanks, Steve.
    As I mentioned in my email to you, if things work out, I will be going with Michele to the Commandant's Marine Corp Birthday Ball this November 10th, and I would love to go in a box pleat made from this tartan. If not, I will of course be in the Leatherneck.

    Geoff,
    I'm a former Active Duty Marine in Baltimore, looking to attend the Commandant's Ball this year with my wife.
    Do I need some special permission to attend?
    Also, I love the Marine Tartan.

    The Commandant's Ball has a number of "open" tickets, that were sold last year though Ticketmaster. I tried to get a pair, but logged in about 30 seconds after they went on sale, and they were already gone. The Ball I attended was the Cryptologic Support Battalion Ball (I work at NSA). The Marine Corps League in Baltimore also puts on a very nice ball.

    Welcome to the rabble! I attended the Commandant's Ball back in 2002 whilst I was still on active-duty. What a fine evening it was too!
