    Thank you for your feedback. The swatches can be enlarged when you click on the image some are larger than others.

    Unfortunately to make a casual kilt in all the tartans we offer isn't likely to happen due to the amount of labour involved. I will make an effort to take more pictures of casuals that are ordered though. Often though they deplete the tartan in stock and then it is not for sale any more.

    To clarify: Are you saying you prefer pages of products with the thumbnails or the current way with the one product and the swatches when you choose the tartan?

    Brandon,

    Actually, your response to MacBean addressed my major concern:
    I am hoping to make a page though listing all the tartans so you don't need to scroll through the list to see the ones available.
    When I am kilt shopping (as most of us here are pretty much continually) I want to scan a page like that. Then when I actually go to order I don't need to see anything, thumbnail or otherwise, because my selection has already been made.

    Hm, just reread it all. I guess you might not be saying "page of pictures" when you say "page listing". I would want to see all the available tartans, as pictures, together so I can decide which I want. After that, it is strictly a "by name" transaction. Having seen the swatch picture on the "page of all available tartans" would satisfy me completely.

    Thanks.

    ps: the "picture of a kilt in that tartan" was very much an unrealistic "utopia" desire. I realize it is not really possible at this time, but one day I want a 3-D picture so I can look at a tartan in various pleats and see how it looks on a model, in my size. Just a wish list, not a "please do this on your website".

    I just noticed that the list of available tartans does not appear to change when you select different weights, which cannot be right. I don't think you have MacFarlane Hunting Ancient in 10 ounce, 13 ounce, 16 ounce and 18 ounce, for example.

    The order of the choices seems correct -- most people would prefer to choose their tartan first. But then the choices of weight should reload based on what is available in that tartan, with the user able to select only the weight that tartan is available in and the other choices grayed out.

    For example, if I chose MacFarlane Hunting Ancient, and you had that available in 13 ounce and 16 ounces, I would be able to choose one of those. But I would not be able to choose 10 ounce or 18 ounce because those weights are not available in that tartan.

    Now, if you have all of those tartans in all of those weights on sale, I'm completely off target. But if I am correct, I hope this is helpful.
