MM PV Purchase

**Geoff Withnell** · 29th April 12, 04:53 PM

Can someone tell me where I can purchase retail yardage of Marton Mills PV, such as USAKilts Casuals are made from? Michele wants to make herself a couple of summer weight tartan skirts from that material.

From Marton Mills.

You will have to e-mail them. I don't think they have an online store as of yet. At least they didn't the last time I ordered from them last summer.

Here in the US, Skye Highland Outfitters in California sells MM PV tartan fabric by the yard.

5 meters of MM PV from them is $200 not including shipping. That's the same as buying 2 casual kilts from rocky. I understand the OP is looking for material for a non-kilt, but still... ouch

Also through Scotweb. For US residents, if under $200 there's no import duty, and under (I think) 2 kg it can be shipped by Royal Mail/USPS.

I'm currently waiting for an order from Scotweb that I placed on 1 Feb 2012. After 1.5 months they sent the wrong tartan which was sent back. Still waiting for the original order, got an email that it was shipped 4-23.

You can always give me a call here at the kilt shop. I carry some Marton Mills fabrics in stock but not all by any means. But I do order in fabrics all the time. I can always add to the list.

Ok, package on the doorstep when I got home today. Four months but the correct tartan this time. Next time I'm giving the Wizard a call.

Agreed. Overseas shipping for my order direct from Marton Mills last December came to about $50 (4 yards of 16 oz wool, 2 yards of PV). I don't know exactly what MM's current prices are (they will send you a price sheet if you contact them), but even factoring in the cost of shipping Skye Highland Outfitters' price reflects a pretty big markup over what I paid.
