Fraser and Kirkbright remnants

[ForresterModern]

Forgot about the asymmetric tartan pattern thing Barb, thanks for reminding me or I would have made a big mistake had I ordered. Those two different brown stripes really do make a difference don't they.

If anybody wants to go halfsies on an order of 8 meters (actually 8.74 yards) for around $200US plus shipping one of us can order it and the other pay the first for their half plus the secondary shipping after splitting the piece lengthwise. Otherwise we can get together and choose a common kiltmaker and just send the whole piece to them to have our kilts made simultaneously (give or take). Would cost each around $100 US plus shipping charges to get it around the continent wherever it needs to go. should not be any customs issues due to the price. Any takers?

If you can't find someone else to go halfsies, let me know. I might be interested in buying the other half (tartan junkie that I am......). And, if you're looking for a kiltmaker, I'm always available!

Thanks, Barb. Got a PM from ThistleDown about splitting an 8 meter piece that he is sending directly to you for you to work you magic, and I am going to split that pice with him and hope you can work the same magic for me. We have talked before re: pricing so I think we are good there unless things have changed in the last couple months. I have sent with him my contact info to forward on. Get in touch with me when you need a deposit on the labor charges and we can talk specific measurements then.

By the way, I did get that special weave 16oz Allen 1996 tartan from Dalgliesh via HOS over the holidays. Due to financial constraints and other opportunities like this one I have decided to hold onto that fabric for now and get the other stuff that is in the pipeline finished up before having the Allen made up for me. Do you do a Kingussie style knife pleat kilt? I like the look of hte one I saw on xmts a while back and it seem like a unique look that might be worth looking into. Thanks again.

Hope you find somebody else to split some tartan with. would hate to see a tartan junkie denied a great fix like this deal.

Sounds great! Absolutely to both questions, and I've sent you a PM.

On the last point, I have to get my fix mainly from having tartan in my possession to enjoy while I'm making a kilt. So, I'll be OK!!

As I described in detail on my PM I think I got aced out on this deal, as thistledown only got 8mtr of single width instead of double width, so none to share with me. Now it is all gone. Bummer. Another time perhaps.

Will be instead sending you the Allen for a nice kingussie masterpiece probably very soon. Checking the current post xmas financing with my business manager---uhhh, wife--- first.

Thanks again.

Well just shoot. I just bought 5 m (double width) of the Ulster for a new tank since I've been wanting an Irish tartan and you can't beat that price.

This is all Alan's fault. If my wife kills me, it'll be on his head!

Interesting. I had thought it was recognized. Either way a beautiful tartan.

At least the Leafs former captain decided to play for a Canadian team for a while

[Cherub]

You know I've never liked the Ontario Tartan, but a Maple leaf will be in my future just not now with money being tight.

PS

Go Leafs Go

Lucky man, ThistleDown, beat me to it.
So I have just bought a four metre piece of Maple Leaf which I am having shipped direct to Scotland and will see what a local kiltmaker can do with it.
A Tewkesbury kilt will have to wait till some other time.
Thanks for the heads up Alan H.

To my Canadian Friends:

My GGGrandfather emigrated from Scotland to the Red River Colony (now Winnepeg), married there before returning to Scotland and later emigrating to new Zeland. Do I qualify to wear the Maple Leaf, and what hockey team should I support?
