Steward Old Sett question

[KFCarter]

I've made a kilt in Weathered Stewart Old Sett - it's a fabulous tartan, but the only way to pleat it is to the red stripe. ...

I don't know if Lochcarron even weaves this any more. I checked a couple years ago, and they told me that it was no longer available. Maybe they've started weaving it again.

Thanks for posting those great pictures...I certainly hope I will be able to get the tartan woven because I'm more determined than ever after seeing it in a kilt. Your advice seals the deal on the pleating as well.

Not to hijack, but Lochcarron will weave anew if the demand is there. This is a Lochacrarron repro Davidson last woven (I think) in the late 1970s for my father. I have a kilt and a pair of trews in this wonderrful 16+ fabric, there are several more kilts and waistcoats in the family and there was some fabric left over for stoles and cushions. With a bunch of demand I suppose it would be woven again. And as an aside, this may be one of the finest kilts in my pretty-large wordrobe.

No hijack there... it's good to know and btw, yours is another beautiful tartan... to say nothing of those excellent hose!

Thanks all for the input!
