    Thanks! Much appreciated.

    I actually ordered enough extra cloth to perhaps have a waistcoat and jacket made someday, once I settle on a style I want.

    Well how about that? My kilt is made from tweed form Marton Mills as well!

    Nothing wrong with a tweed kilt, looks wonderful glad you were able to get back to kilt wearing.

    I love their tweed fabric. They do quite a variety including some tartans:

    "Coast" seems to be Cameron of Erracht.

    "Autumn" seems to be Buchanan.

    "Seaside" might be Portree??

    There's Black Watch, Black Watch Weathered, Hollyrood, Hunting Stewart Weathered, and Royal Stewart Weathered.

    I had a tough time choosing between the Stewarts.

    If I were to have a jacket & waistcoat made it would be from "Mulitcheck" which is gorgeous.
