    Great Tartan with a great history
    The HBC was a major player in the Western Fur trade
    and did much to open up the West

    I would proudly wear that Tartan
    I'm an 18th century guy born into the 20th century and have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

    A reminder to those wishing to purchase some of the HBC Tartan fabric.

    The Fabric was woven by Fraser & Kirkbright in their 16oz. Merino Wool.
    It is double width or 60" wide. You will need approx. 4 yards for a Traditional Style Kilt and slightly more or less for a Contemporary Style.
    Exactly how much fabric you will need will depend on your hip measurement.
    The Sett is 7"
    The cost of the fabric is:
    $74.25cdn / meter
    or at todays exchange rate $73.75usd / meter
    or $67.77usd / yard
    I will also need your mailing address to calculate shipping costs or applicable taxes.
    I can ship immediately upon payment but cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Not to mention that Ogden, Utah, was named for a HBC employee. :mrgreen:
