    I noticed it this weekend, but these two tartans did not have a fabric width listed with them so I did not know for sure if they are double width or not. I have emailed them but not gotten a reply yet. Will post when I know more.

    Know more. Seems like they now list htem as double width acccording to allen's link. That is a change from yesterday. Yahoo.

    Yes, confirmed by e-mail as double width and now corrected on their site.

    When I steer my sister Mary to a site such as that, she typically responds by calling me BAD SISTER (her Visa card is registered as a deadly weapon LOL).

    Alan, you are a BAD MAN.

    I am so looking forward to receiving that lovely heavy Maple Leaf tartan. . .

    I did notice that the material was posted on the site on Friday. Having missed the last round of 16oz maple leaf, I called Gordon and dropped by today. (I live and work only a few blocks away). I did pick up enough maple leaf to make a tank. The material is beautiful. I do have a very small piece of this summers run and in this current run the colours are just a touch more muted - but just a touch. Having worked in a maple sugar bush I can say the colours feel true to life.

    Well.... then I made the mistake of asking to see the Ulster - and it was love at first sight. What the heck, a few more yards of 16oz. i was suprised - on my monitor the ulster looked a bit more yellow that it did in real life.

    Now here I sit trying out different pleating options.

    Not to be a bad influence but this material is nice.
