I have a tracking number and it shows my fabric in customs in Vancouver.

With luck I will have the fabric by the start of Kilt Kamp.

Wonderful news, Steve! I can't wait to see it!

The fabric arrived today. I was like a kid at Christmas opening the roll.

It is far better than I could ever have hoped. I tried to take some photos but was rushed and they came out far too dark to show off this Tartan. I'll take some more when it is daylight and I have the good lights at the shop.

This is truly a beautiful roll of fabric. The feel of it is incredible. The colors are perfect. Sadly I no longer have my Dress Blues but I do have an image of a set that I will used as a comparison when I get the photos.

I'm pretty sure my fellow Marines are gonna like how this turned out.

I'll let the picture do the talking.

Wow. Yeah, I don't think I'd see anything except Marine in that. Frankly, I think it's more evocative of Dress Blues than the "official" Marine tartan. Beautiful tartan!

It has my stamp of approval, Steve!

S/F,

Wow! That's Hard Corps! Well done!

Looking forward to seeing it as a kilt!

Wow , that's excellent ! What a great representation and tribute to the Dress Blues . Can't wait to see the kilt .

Tell your kiltmaker that you would like to minimize the Jonesing on this order.

Remember to take time to sleep , one can't sew all night , or maybe one can ?
