How Many X-Marks tartan kilts?

[Alan H]

42 X-Marks tartan kilts made, or in the works...with two folks actually having TWO of them...and counting

[The Wizard of BC]

Run no. 1 was woven in '05 and was for 31.5 meters of 14 oz.
Run no. 2 was woven in '06 and was for 80.5 meters of 14 oz.
Run no. 3 was woven in '07 twice and was for 90.5 meters of 16 oz. each time.

That's a total of 293 meters of fabric out there.

WHOAH......293 meters is *very* roughly 300 yards, double width. That's 600 yards of single width. If half of the kilts made are 4-yards and half are 8 yarders (gross over-simplification but this is just rough, here) then that means there's enough for 200 X-Marks kilts.

TWO HUNDRED X-MARKS Tartan Kilts.

Whoah. Whoo-o-o-o-a-a-a-ah.

Not to be anal but that's 317.5 yards double or 635 yards single. Very much impressive. Perhaps it's time for me to really join the X Marks clan. It would be fitting as I feel I'm that relative that no-one dares mention...

I'm patiently waiting for my Matt Newsome box-pleat from the redo of Run #3...
