This source is good, i have used.

OH - MY ....

That is awesome. Man, I think I would be really interested in a kilt of this fabric were there to be a run of it (or you know... something simliar or whatever...) I likey alot.

Bradley ... is this one in your size? If so, I envy you!!!

I wish it were in mine... It's not too often I can say "that regimental kilt's too big for me!"

PS: The source is good ... he's the ex-LS piper I communicate with!

Nope, I'm afraid it's not my size either. I know what you mean, it's odd to say that about a regimental kilt eh? This thread has created a burning in me though.

This may be the first time I've ever had to say this: Curse my skinny ***!

I wonder if Marton Mills could find the right colour thread ... my lodge is having them weave us a tartan in Orange, purple and Royal blue and black... The lady I had contact with at Marton sent me yarn samples which arrived today. I had 2-3 choices for each colour!

I've had two kilts in Marton fabric (the current one is my MoD saffron) and I can vouch for the excellent value for money!

I'd be interested to know as well.

Was the custom weave price reasonable?

I followed a link to another Hodden thread at the bottom of the page. The hodden isn't worn exclusively by the London and Toronto Scots. I remember reading once that the world renown Strathclyde Police Pipe Band, the first non-military pipe band, first wore hodden grey!

Please correct me if I'm off here, but the exclusive element to the Tor and London Scots' hodden is the Elcho Blue side fringe. It's so named for the regiment's founder, Lord Elcho. In my personal opinion, the blue side fringe is very good looking!

The custom weave price was very, very reasonable! The minimum order is 25 metres double width!

I think it's sharp as well! Very smart.

I've never seen so many people get so excited about a bit of old army blanket
