I'm looking at getting ahold of some tartan to make a kilt. I'm debating between Maclachlan and Macewen tartans. I was just wondering if anyone had a rough idea of the repeats of these two setts? In Barb's book, it mentions that Maclachlan has a 12" repeat, but I don't know about the weight of the material (therefore thread width).

Or if anyone could tell me relative to one another (maclachlan's repeat is larger than macewen's, or vice-versa), I'd really appreacite it

Shoot, if you have a website even that lists other tartans with a rough idea, that'd be great too



Question #2: Has anyone done any dealings with House of Tartan? They have both the Maclachlan and Macewen tartans for just under $70/meter, but I didn't want to order from there unless I was sure they were reliable.

Thanks
