    Another Tartan weaver that you may not be aware of...

    Thanks to Rocky at USA Kilts for pointing these guys out.

    The primarily do woolen and wool-blend fabrics for furnishings and throws but they can do smaller custom runs of 16 ounce wool tartan with a tucked-in selvedge. They're also responsive to e-mail inquiries.

    Not with Bute but my first order for a single kilt length of a custom Tartan is in with Andrew Elliot. There are a group of us who are anxiously awaiting for the fabric to arrive.
    If the quality is good we have ourselves an alternate artisan weaver. The price was actually quite reasonable. (Far less than some others)

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Perhaps this might be an appropriate place to comment on the large amount of work invested on our mutual behalf
    by various members to create tartans, products, and experiences for the enjoyment of the rest. Without your time,
    energy, and often, financial risk, our lives would be the poorer.
