Introducing "Heatherfield"

[Tim Little]

Well done, Rex; absolutely brilliant!
And matching argyll hose are a must, I think.

Rex,

That is one gorgeous tartan. I can see that I must keep getting myself ready (lose weight and save money) for a Heatherfield kilt.

I have my goal, now I got to get there!!!

Cheers,

Marshal Moroni

Rex, you should be very proud... that is a beautiful tartan... I do not think I could expect anything less from you.. you have great taste in the color palate.. Cheers!

[Deil the Yin]

Guid on ye, Rex!!! And a beautiful tartan to boot! You might even get those blood-and-guts traditionalists salivating with that new tartan design!

Rex is very pleased.

I'm sharing this now because it will be quite some time before I can have a kilt made from this, and I anticipate that it will travel many miles before it all comes together. Frankly, I think I've done a pretty good job keeping the jones in check (though my wallet may have suffered a little lately, I'm afraid), but it crops up here from time to time, "What can I wear if I don't belong to a clan." Well? Now there's "Heatherfield." I've been itching to say that this tartan was designed with the clan-less in mind, and anyone is welcome to wear it if it pleases them, too.

Regards,
Rex.

I am so happy for you Rex, I know what a long road you have traveled to get to this point and from the looks of things its been a worthwhile journey. In my humble opinion - this tartan has all the essential elements to make it the next Isle of Skye or the next Dutch Friendship tartan. Its brilliant, its beautiful, its a classic in the making.

It is, as someone else has said, a real humdinger!

Cheers!

Phil, thank you for your early encouragement. You are a class act, and I very much remember thinking to myself, if Phil approves, I'm on the right track.

Best regards,
Rex.

Stewart Robertson, director of operations, sent me this lovely little sampler.

I hope you got to keep the sampler -- it looks like a ready-made version of what you sent off to have Isle of Skye tartan hose made. . .

For sure I still have it -- Hey! I hadn't thought of that yet.

Gee, thanks, Sydnie. That's what I needed - one more temptation.

That's a fine tartan for sure. Can't wait to see the kilt
