Earl of Standews

Kilts 4 Less has in their tartan list one called Earl of Standews. I find no listing of this tartan at the Tartan Authority or Registry. I assume it must be a fashion tartan. Anyone know more?

It's a typo for Earl of St. Andrews, a fashion tartan from the 1930s. STA entry.

This is a very beautiful, striking Tartan. It is one of the replacements in my rental fleet.
Most weavers carry it. I get my rental fleet fabric, in P/V, from MM.

Thanks, Peter, for the explanation. I wondered if it were a misspelling, but when it comes to tartan names you never know. I ordered a kilt from Kilts 4 Less and browsed the other options on the site when I ran across it.

I like the colors in the bar (can't think of the correct name for it) on the left of the STA page. However on my screen the larger image looks greenish. I wouldn't want to wear that. The bluer version would be nice.

Right now the prices in US $ seem quite reasonable. My kilt cost around $330, I think. This late at night the memory isn't so good. One can get an 8-yard 16 ounce wool kilt for not much more than a p/v 8 yarder from well known US makers. K4L doesn't charge extra for bigger sizes, at least they didn't charge me. I say get 'email while they're hot. I've asked previously about K4L quality and gotten favorable reports.

_{I ordered one of the Earl of St. Andrews kilts from them this past weekend and received it Tuesday. The quality was surprising, it seems very well made. The pictures don't do it justice, it looks much better in person. Overall I am very happy with it and would definatly order from them again.}

Earl Of St. Andrew was the first traditional kilt I made. It is pleated to the sett. The blue is a little off in this photograph. I get a lot of compliments on the tartan. Good choice if looking for new kilt.
