X Marks Tartan fabric arrives

Jamie, I understand that Steve asked for opinions of those who ordered and paid for this shipment; however, there may be a win win for all involved.

If the majority of those who ordered earlier want a kilt seveaged material demand a rerun of that material. The cost has already been paid, so the only thing involved would be the additional time. To help the mill recoup the expense of their mistake offer the material on hand to the rest of the rabble at a discounted price. This way the material that has been woven will be used, the people who ordered the seveaged material get what they ordered and the mill gets paid something for their "mistake" and yards of perfectly good material does not go to waste.

I for one, would take enough for a 5 yard box pleat and a fly. As I did not know about X-marks when you all were ordering, I would hate for perfectly good material go into the trash bin, and would love to have a kilt and kit made of the same!

1) Return all the fabric and demand it be re-woven with a Kilt Selvedge.

(Yes, I'm included in the order.)

BroosterB1,

I can apprciate that there may be some options for Marton Mills to arrange something with Steve about the fabric they sent him without a selvedge edge.

But that has to wait until Steve knows what those who ordered the fabric wish to do.

Let' address this issue and then once it is settled Steve can decide if he wants to start a thread regarding the incorrect order.

Cheers

Jamie

I was not aware of this thread and I was trying to send the remaining funds to Steve, when he directed me here.

Since Steve Is making mine....I leave the decision in his capable hands.

All the best
