Recreating a tartan fabric?

[ForresterModern]

If this is your tartan:

then this may be your lucky day. A relatively new Scotland based outfit from outside of Glasgow recently opened a new website, and is offering a 20% discount (as listed on their main webpage ---code "speclaunch01"). If you go to their kilt page for a gents classic machine stitched kilt you can order one in ANY tartan listed in their registry reference, and in whatever weight tartan is available, and if not available in stock they will weave it at whatever weight you want as a special order for no additional cost. They will then build it up into a machine sewn kilt for right around $300 USD and ship it to you ground transit for free. At least that is what they told me when I ordered my similar kilt in special weave Brown Douglas tartan 16oz. Ordered over a month ago and was told to expect it in about 12 weeks. Email confirrmation and everything.

Granted, this is a relatively new website and probably nobody here has any significant history with this outfit, so no absolute guarantees of quality, but from all the exchanges I had with them they seemed as knowledgeable about kilts as several other established vendors I have worked with in Scotland. Plus I have a satisfaction guarantee on my credit card so I have a bit of backup if it shows up looking shabby. Worth a shot IMHO. Not sure how long it will take them to close this loop hole----an 8yd kilt in any tartan listed in the registry for $300 shipped to the US. Tough to beat that deal.

YMMV. Caveat emptor and all that. Oh, and welcome to the rabble.
