Tartan requests for SWK

[Panache]

I'm amazed that this is still rolling, with absolutely no indication that Jerry has ever even looked at it....

Jerry really isn't that big into self promotion. He is always pleased with the positive things people say about Stillwater Kilts, but when he is here on XMTS he prefers not to really talk about his business. He thinks of himself as just another kilt wearing member of XMTS.

No one should take offense that he hasn't jumped in. I'm sure he has looked in on the thread and is probably pleased that people are still contributing to it.


Cheers

I second clergy tartan (black and white, or purple or lavendar, something that everyone else doesn't have) and also Galloway hunting, maybe that wonderfully bright green, iguana-looking thing, that I think is ancient.

Also, please, please more heavyweight tartans.

Hi, Jamie pretty much nailed it. SWK normally has a "hands off" policy regarding message boards- I rarely make "official" SWK posts on message boards, I prefer to participate as an individual, not a business.

As far as tartans go, SWK will probably always have a limited tartan selection, especially in the wool fabric which is not always easy to come by. Don't forget that some of our other fine XMTS vendors have tartans that SWK doesn't and they are ready to help you also.

One thing we may eventually do is rotate in specific tartans on a one-time batch basis, and when it's gone, it's gone, and then do a different one. We do track tartan requests that are sent to us, some of our best-selling tartans have been ones that got NO requests, I just liked it personally and thought others might also.

Some folks have actually been quite upset with us because we didn't have some truly obscure tartan already made in their size on the shelf.

Feel free to contact us directly if you have any other questions.

The more I think about this, the more I like it. That would probably work out to three or four new tartans for the Standard / Thrifty line each year, and that would insure you an income stream from me, at least!
