X Marks Tartan order update

Ron,

Just mail me your credit card.

**Riverkilt** · 18th July 05, 10:08 AM

You mean the number....?

Probably should mail you the whole card...

Yes, Ron, send me the whole card. ;) That thing has bought so many kilts in the last year I figure it must have some kind of magic in it.

Ron, (Riverkilt) just sent me his order for 4 meters.
That brings us to 23 meters. One more order and we're in.

I'm awaiting for a call back from Gordon Kirkbright to place the go-ahead order.

Just in case it might help put us over the top...

Kathy Lare at Kathy's Kilts in Albuquerque, NM USA can make other garments out of this X Marks tartan fabric.

She also makes tartan vests. Would look sharp with a solid color contemporary kilt.

Special deal, not on her pricelist, especially with supplied fabric, but don't guess it'd be too much. No clue how much fabric it would take for a vest. Guess it depends on measurements.

I just got off the phone with Gordon Kirkbright.

The bad news is;
The mill is shut down for their two week vacation.

The good news is;
We are on the production schedule to start weaving 23 meters as soon as they get back.

Here is the official word;
I will accept orders until 2400 pdt Sat.23 July 05. Anyone who has already ordered will be getting an invoice from Freedom Kilts this week. The invoice will include the cost of the amount of fabric you ordered, any applicable taxes, cost of shipping to the address you gave me, and my fee for handling this.
As soon as I have recieved confirmation of your payment and no later than Mon. 25 July 05 I will send a check to Faser & Kirkbright.

After Mon the 25th you will have to wait for the next run to get the X Marks Tartan.

Cool!!

Since we're a tiny order and different may take a while eh?

Guessing the actual arrival of the cloth will be sometime around December??

Waiting four months for a special tartan from Lochcharron and they take that two week break too.

Or did they give us a promise/guesstimate on shipping time?

Thanks

Ron
