X Marks Tartan order update

Dang, I wish I was swimming in money, or at least stepping in a puddle. I would so love to do this, but it's just not possible at this time. I hope that this isn't just a one time thing.

Well, I'm back from a week of backpacking in the Emigrant Wilderness (pics sooner or later!) and I see we're on the F&K Schedule. FANTASTIC! Thanks, everybody for stepping up and ordering so we can have that minimum 25 meters.

Regarding whether there'll be another run.... note that it's been a bit of a grunt to get up to very-nearly-that-minimum-order. It's taken a couple of weeks. I didn't know if it was all going to be a bust when I logged on this evening. Are there enough guys out there who want the tartan enough that there's enough for a second minimum order? Personally, and this is just me....I wouldn't count on it.

That doesn't mean that you can't get your very own X Marks Tartan kilt. It just means you'll be paying $20 a yard more for it. Remember that Matt Newsome and Cyndi at Thistle Stop know a custom weaver that will produce yardage for you at $65 a yard. The stuff we're getting from Fraser and Kirkbright will cost roughly $20 a yard less than that. So if I were you, I'd find some way to scrounge the money, but if you simply can't and the support isn't there for another run in a couple of months, you CAN get 2-4 yards of the tartan for your traditional kilt. It'll just cost you more and it'll look slightly different than if you bought it on this go'-round.
