X Marks Tartan run 2

[GlassMan]

This might be a stupid question, but I'm an American. We're still stuck in the old Imperial system. How much should we order to get an 8 yard kilt, flashes & plaid out of it?

[The Wizard of BC]

You'll need 4 yards for the kilt. Another yard for the plaid and flashes.
Total, 5 yards.
The fabric is 60" wide, and will come measured in Meters so you will actually get an extra 20".

I would be interested, but not right now. I have to pay off the credit card from previous kilt related purchases!

[Southern Breeze]

I'm definitley intrested. Put me down for 8 yards.

[davedove]

I was just wondering. Was the tartan ever registered?

[possingk]

Put me down for at least 2 meters, depending on when the order goes in I may go up to 4 meters.

I am guessing right now we are just in the planning stages, and soon we will have a place on your site to purchase it again.

Steve once again thanks for doing this.

Dave asked:

I submitted the paperwork to the Scottish Tartans Authority some time ago, and in October I gave them a cutting off of the cloth that was originally ordered, so they have it in their records.

It does not show up on their web site as of yet, but I think they only update the site every so often. Hopefully it will show up in their next update.

Aye,
Matt

Okay, so if I wanted an 8 yard kilt it would be 8 yards for the kilt and another yard for plaid and flashes.

Steve, thanks for letting me know how much I'd need for plaid and flashes.

But the real meaning of my question was, how many meters does that work out to?

[Magnus Sporrano]

The fabric is 60" wide, and will come measured in Meters so you will actually get an extra 20".

Hmmm double width, eh?

Magnus could use a belted plaid...
