Looking for tartan

[Graham]

Cool, it looks like this is a more up to date site for the same company (though they still have a message up saying not to place an order between Dec. 2004 and March 2005).

According to the site, at least, they can make your kilt for you, and also provide the cloth. (Looks like they have the same basic tartan stock list as Lochcarron, plus their own proprietary tartans).

Looks like their kilts are 310.00 pounds, and their cloth by the yard is 39.95, though either they don't say what weight cloth it is, or I am just missing it.

Aye,
Matt

missed this post, thanks for the info, David, I checked the site, 310 pounds for a kilt?? wow, that's $750 AUD, which is really very expensive.

A four yard kilt might be within reach if I could buy the cloth.

Graham,

The lady who arranges the tartan is unwell and has given up the business.

Do I take it, then, that Celtic Originals is gone for good? Hmmm... If that were the case, I'd contact Peter MacDonald about getting the tartan. He was the one who originally designed it. I know that Celtic Originals has the production rights, but if they are no longer in business, perhaps Peter could arrange something in order to get you the cloth.

(If I'm misreading you there, please let me know).

In any case, you can contact Peter through his web site at:
