Hi Brian,
I should of expected to find you here. :^) Hope all's well. Yeah, it
stunk missing Culloden, but it sucked more that my dog/best friend
died. It just goes to show that you never know what's going to happen.
I'm trying to find another source, cheaper, for repro Government sett
wool for my Rev War Highland unit. $70-$100 a yard is absolutely
unacceptable for anything but a once-in-a-lifetime wool kilt purchase.
As much as I hate the thought of ordering tartan from anywhere but
Scotland, the only way it can be justified for hobby/reenacting purposes
is ordering from Pakistan. Maybe in the next year the government will
decide to pay off the debt and reverse the slide of the dollar, but somehow
I doubt that's going to happen. 
Anyway, What Price Glory is a company that sells repro WWI and WWII
stuff, much of it made in Pakistan. Would be nice to know their source
so I can see about getting something done in a period shade and pattern.
Take care,
Alex
