    Texas Tartan

    I love blue tartans. I wonder how much it would cost to get some Texas Tartan.

    If you like blue tartans, you should get in on the xmarks tartan order: a good price for the material, too. however, if your heart is set on the Texas tartan check out Matt Newsome's site: a custom weave, box-pleated kilt is less than many common tartans from some.

    Bryan...I keep looking at the Isle of Skye district tartan from him...

    The only problem with the Xmarks tartan is that it is being ordered right now, and I've already spent a bunch of money this month on kilts. Also, once I got it, I'd have to send it off somewhere to be made into a kilt. A lot of hassle. What is the url to Matt Newsome's website?

    http://www.albanach.org and you can order whenever you are ready. Matt can get single kilt size weavings at any time, just have to pay slightly more.

    Jeremiah,

    A custom weave isn't needed. You can buy the Texas Bluebonnet Tartan here:

    steve has said that the XMarks bill shouldn't come due for another month at least: that falls within my time frame. If you're interested check out the thread.

    Bryan...don't know what to do with the material yet, though...
