Last week, I promised to post info on tartan from D.C. Dalgiesh in Selkirk, Scotland.

Their K7 weight of tartan is 11-12 oz and is a terrific weight for a light to medium weight man's kilt or a dancer's kilt. The fabric is beautifully woven and has a nice hard finish. As you can see from the tartan lists below, they specialize in dress tartans (most of the dancers you see at games have Dalgliesh tartan kilts) and in what they call "reproduction" tartans (what most other mills call weathered tartan). They are also one of the only mills that will weave a single kilt length of custom fabric in either their 11-12 oz or in 16 oz., single width. I've had them weave several pieces, and it has always been beautiful stuff. If you want double width, you need to order a min of 30 yards.

You can email them at kenneth@dcdalgliesh.co.uk or call Angie to order at 011-44-1-750-20781 (that number also includes the country code calling from the States). They do take credit cards now.

Cheers,

Barb
