    Thanks!

    now, is there a way to get a less expensive bolt of Clergy tartan (preferably not in wool) but be able to get it in like cotton polly blend (like a stillwater economy) in somewhere like 8-9 yards at a time?

    I really don't know where to look for tartan fabric.

    thanks!

    I'd ask a kilt maker. USA Kilts has the Clark tartan, presumably in poly/rayon.

    Whoops this from the Kiltstore tartan finder: Presbyterian Synod (US) Modern copyright material, not available for purchase. I don't know whether that connects to any of the Presbyterians which whom I'm acquainted (PCUSA, ARP).

    I saw a tartan I'd not seen before, listed as Methodist Church Modern. Could that be the one Matt referred to?

    I am wondering how old the Presbyterian (US) tartan is I didn't see a copyright date. The US branch of the church is an older branch of the church that joined with several other branches of the church in a merger that formed the PCUSA as we know it today. The merger happened over twenty years ago.

    Thanks for the info Fluter, I can add this one to my list of tartans.
