    Jura Range

    I have seen numerous mentions of Jura Range wool kilts in the past. Can someone please explain to me the differences and the definition.

    Cheers

    I think you will find that these are a product of 'Scottish Kilts' Colin. "Jura" appears to be a name they give to a particular range of casual kilts:

    Made-to-measure, 5 yard, machine stitched, 15oz worsted wool, choice of 100 tartans, £150.00.

    Go to: www.scottishkilts.net and click on "Kilts".

    I have also seen Jura listed from a material supplier. I am just wondering if it is a different type of wool. http://www.martonmills.com/pure_wool.htm

    Ham, I believe they also make an 8 yard in Jura Range. I just wonder if it isn't a matter of which mill it comes from.

    Jura is Marton Mill's 16 oz wool. Other mills call it "Strome" (loch)or "HW" (Edgar) or "W100" (Strath) or "Torridon" (Bat).

    I would take a "Jura Kilt" to mean that the material is 16 oz wool from MM.

    Perfect, thanks Rocky.

    Oooops! Sorry Colin. I'd never heard of "Jura" in this context. Just did a search for it and the 'Scottish Kilts' link is what I was given. It seems you have the answer now anyway, so I'll go back in my corner! ;)
