Thanks for all the comments, Ron.

I know that my fabric is in good hands and that the finished "Tewksbury" kilt will be a thing of beauty and a joy to wear.

My initial post was certainly not intended as a rant, and I realize that things can happen in the manufacturing process, but I will have to trust the experience eyes of my kiltmaker on this one.

Run 2 of the Xmarks fabric is "water under the bridge". The issues are now out in the open. My hope is that once the problems are properly evaluated, that corrective action may be taken by the manufacturer to avoid a repeat.
