X-marks tartan

And here's one box-pleated to the yellow stripe (yes, its the yellow, just washed out in this pic). What is really nice is that this centers the wide gray/white stripes in the center of the box and it really show nicely when walking. You can see it in the picture where some of the pleats are open a bit on the right side. This was sewn up by Matt Newsome.

If someone is going to put this together, count me in.

I will call Gordon at Fraser & Kirkbright tomorrow and see how long it would be to get another batch of fabric woven.

I suspect that with his recent price changes we should be able to get the price down to around $50 or $55 per meter double width if we order more than 30 meters.

That means we would have to have firm commitments from 8 people for 4 meters each.

I swore after the last time that I wouldn't do this again, but what the heck. Let's do it.

I'm in. Firm commitment for 4 meters.

My word Steve - you are a VERY brave man. Have you been pub crawling or something?

I'm game this time around as well. My first "real" kilt might as well be x-marks tartan. 4meters for me too please.

Please note above edit. We'd be wise to stay the course!

I might be able to get the wife to turn loose of enough for PV. I would prefer wool as well, but just can't swing that much cash. Not unless I can start selling some of my Masonic items.
