    In a conversation with Gordon today I placed the order for 76.5 meters of fabric.

    Gordon promised that he would stretch his yarn to the limit, but when he runs out we will have to wait for the rest to be woven.

    Even the big guys get s*****d by suppliers once in a while.

    When the fabric comes in (no date yet) I will cut it and send it out in the order the orders came in to me. Some may have to wait. (I don't know how long. perhaps 30 days.)

    This means you can still order. But you will go to the tail end of the line and your fabric will come from the make-up run.

    The ordering procedure is the same as before.

    Just about any kilt maker will make a kilt out of cloth provide, just be sure to contact them first. I know that Kathy Lare has made a kilt out of the Xmarks material for Ron (Riverkilt) and I think Barb has said she would make one. Matt would probably make you one of his box-pleated as well. If there is a kilt maker you like, just contact them and ask.

    You know, if there is one thing more striking than a bunch of kilted gentlemen, it is when all the kilts of in the same tartan.

    I left the decision on how to pleat my X Marks the Scot tartan kilt to Kathy Lare www.kathyskilts.com since she'd actually see the tartan in person before I did. She thought it would look sharp pleated to the sett and that's what she did. I'm pleased. Seems the right way to handle the white stripes.

    The white stripes in the tartan sort of leap out in the photos, probably due to fill flash. But in person the white seems much more subdued due to blue slashes in the white lines. So don't judge from Ham and my pics.

    Would reccomend, if you're drop shipping the fabric from Steve to your kiltmaker, that you ask you kiltmaker and follow their expertise...unless you're dead set on one way or another for some reason.

    Well, I think I (guided by Steve) am to be my own kiltmaker, so as to get the job done hopefully in time for graduation.
