Martin Mills can weave the PVS cloth. St Kildas/Gaelic Themes can make the kilts.
The cloth for around 20 meters is 80 GBP. It goes down the larger the weave.
I did this with one of my personal tartans. WOSM or whoever the registrant is will need to give permission.
If Lochcarron is the registrant forget it.
I would go in with you for PVS cloth and let St Kildas handle the order (a little overhead).
Marton Mills would contact the registrant.
The registrant's name is not part of the public information for the tartan. It does say prepared for weaving by Lochcarron.
For an 8yd kilt, St Kildas will charge 160gbp plus the cost of the cloth. 5 yard kilt would be 105GBP. It will be machine sewn and have a hem.
THe weaving process takes 4-5 months. Marton Mills requires 50% upfront to schedule the weave.
I contracted earlier this year for 40 meters directly with Marton Mills. The weave produced 37 meters.
13 meters went to StKildas. I got 4 kilts out of it (2 8yd and 2 5yd). The rest is going to be used for home furnishings.
St Kildas is about to handle a 20 meter order for me for an experimental tartan.
