I like it Alan. I like the addition of the gold. Are you going to be able to get it made in PV or wool?

Well, since there are only three of us in the CHAC right now, I think the cost would be prohibitive. I already made Summer a kilt...she likes purple anyway, so she's not going to want one.

Getting it made in PV would be hugely expensive, since Marton Mills wants many, many dozens of yards before they will consider it. The logical place to go would be to Fraser and Kirkbright or to Dalgliesh. Fraser and Kirkbright might be able to make a wool/poly blend that would be something like affordable. I supposed I might inquire as to how much it would cost to get Dalgliesh to weave it, as long as I'm sitting down when I get the response!

But it would be fun!

I see. Yeah, at the cost of a custom weave it wwould be better suited to a tank over a throwing kilt. I'd hate to spend that much to have tar get all over it. Anyway, it's still pretty cool.
