XMTS Hose special for forum members-Update
Hey Gang-
I received Jamie's samples today, so that is now covered. I want to cover a couple of things that have been addressed in the other threads-
1.) Since their are 2 different weaves of this tartan, there are 2 slightly varying colors. Jamie asked if we could find a medium to match both, but honestly...The colors are minute shades off from each other, and instead of having something that wouldn't match either weave 100%-I'm going to match each respective pair of hose to what weave the individual has. If you have a Wool XMTS kilt-You'll get a matching pair. If you have a PV XMTS, you'll get a matching pair. If we could keep these samples, it would be EXCELLENT for future purchases. If not, I'll deal with JAmie for a swatch as the need arises.
Having both swatches will let us dye the wool nicely to match, so when the time comes, with your measurements-indicate your tartan weave.
2.)I think I saw someone asking "What they'd be getting". If you search "Skye Highland Outfitters" in the search field, you can see the work that will be done. There are Diced and Argyll hose for viewing.
3.) If you are getting diced hose-You need to choose your 2 colors-Easy enough. If you are getting Argyll hose, keep this in mind. There are 5 colors. We are going to do a 4 color set. The 5th color can be your flashes color. I personally think you should do Dark blue and Grey diamonds with king's blue and white strip with yellow flashes.....But you can decide that for your own. We are willing to be flexible for you guys. PM if you need more detail on this. Thanks y'all-JOsh
