Hi Wompet! Glad you got the cloth in good order. A few thoughts, just for the education of the general rabble.

Certian tartans, like Hunting Stewart (also Campbell of Argyle, and Buchanan) are assymetrical, and so cannot be cut, turned and joined to make a single width length from a double width peice, as is the usual practice. So when ordering cloth to make a kilt, it's usual to order a single width length rather than double. The mills won't argue with you because this is how they are used to supplying kiltmakers for these tartans.

And on a related note, the House of Edgar, who wove this cloth, will soon be providing all of their tartans in single width lengths. They have replaced their looms with new models that prodice cloth in signel widths (30" wide) with a traditional kilting selvedge. As their old stock of double width cloth sells out, all new cloth will be woven single width. This means that during the transition period, any cloth you order from House of Edgar may be supplied either single or double width, depending upon the tartan. (You'd still get the same amount of material -- if you ordered 4 yards double, you'd get 8 yards single. Actually a little more material, as the 30" wide singel width is a bit more than half of the 54" wide double).

Aye,
Matt
