Thanx for the advice Ham! I've had a queasy feeling since placing the order and this just confirms my concerns. I have a 13 oz kilt which is great but I believe I've made a mistake in going lighter on this new kilt. I shall be making arrangements to change the fabric. You are quite right of course regarding the tartan issue. And while I agree completely... I do, as they say, want to know my tartans.

I've dealt with this store previously and they are very good with customer service. However, its quite evident that if you want solid advice, Xmarks is the place to ask.

While Burnetts and Struth are reputable dealers, I've already paid half up front. It's early in the game and I should be able to get this corrected.
