Pennsylvania Tartan?

[sav]

Hello! The PA Tartan is about 10(ish) years old...As you said, the Sheepskin Shop in Ebensburg is the only place that sells it, and in blanket weight only...However, if you are planning on having it woven (i.e. through Matt or someone else) I will be interested in purchasing some cloth...Let me know how things work out!

I see the Ohio tartan is just butt ugly.

Who designs these things?

[M. A. C. Newsome]

If I remember right, the PA tartan was designed by William H. Johnston, and I don't think anything official was ever done with it.

In any case, I can get cloth. Minimum order is 4 yards. $65 per yard, 28" wide, either 16 oz or 13 oz weight. If you want to get more let me know -- larger quantities I can get double width, effectively cutting the cost in half.

I'm heading out of town in the morning until Tuesday, so if anyone PMs or emails me, don't expect a response till then.

Everyone have a great weekend!

You beat me to it, Prester John. I'm just surprised that they don't require sewing a block "O" and that pot-leaf in it.

I will definately be ordering enough Pennsylvania Tartan to have a kilt made.

Is anyone interested in getting in on this production?

Sincerely,

I would love to join in on this, but don't have the cash right now. I would love to see pictures if you guys get the tartan and kilts made.

Thanks

Dog gone it, what'd you have to go and do that for? Now I have ANOTHER one to add to the list. Lets see, formal Hay tartan for the daughter's wedding, Navy Tartan, Polaris Tartan, Scottish National, Irish National, now this one. I'll never get caught up.

I would be interested in 4 Meters of it. If someone wants to start a list, put me down for 4 M. Prefference is 13 oz, but will do 16 oz if everyone else wants it.

I wonder if you contact Donegal Square in Bethlehem PA, if they could direct you in the right direction. The town of Bethlehem have thier own tartan, and i know they were taking kilt orders, during celtic classic last weekend.
Donegal Square, 534 Main St, Bethlehem, PA 18018, 610 866 3244 or http://www.donegal.com.

Verlyn from what I understand the Polaris is not a production tartan, available by special order only. I am also interested in a kilt in this so let me know when you decide to start looking. Perhaps we might find a price break by combining orders.
