But, but, Sir, I don't do Tartans!

Steve,
When you place an order with most weavers do they maintain a record after the 1st weave so that you can tell them I want the X Marks tartan or do you have to indicate the thread count each time you order?

[The Wizard of BC]

To Aggie, and UmAnOnion,

First, F&K have a record of the Sett and thread count of the X Marks Tartan. They can re-produce it at any time.

The bad news is their minimum order is 30 meters. Enough for 5 or 6 kilts.

The good news is, there is still time to get an order in. The mill will be finishing our order as soon as yarn comes in and they will be able to add some extra fabric with little hassle.

If you want in and have can raise some money before June, send me an e-mail; service@freedomkilts.com

You're killing me here, Steve. I've been trying NOT to send you the email, commisions have been a bit too low here this year but I do want that tartan! I thought I managed to stay out of this run but now.... might just have to talk the DW into 4 meters

[UmAnOnion]

my computer at home is on its last legs so replacing that is my #1 priority. and I think i am ion the same boat as Livingston - relying on commissions, which are a little paltry for me right now as well.... awaiting a check from a vendor who's product i sold over other more suitable products which might help defray costs in one or two areas - so keep me in the loop up until ULTIMATE decision time on this one please - pretty please - pretty please with brown suagr on top....

Steve,
I already got in on the 2nd X Marks run. I was using X Marks in my question as a general example. Thanks

[Hamish]

So much joy on this thread - and there should be!

Here's what awaits you...



At least Dave for sure from Kathy Lare....

I'm finding my X Marks tartan is VERY versitile for different occasions, the colors go with many other colors. A dream kilt for me.

Add the fellowship to all that. We gotta rendezvous somewhere.

And, I'm betting maybe there are a few guys who wanna add yardage to the finishing run if that's possible...

Ron

OK Ron, I'm not letting you get away with this!!

HERE's what awaits you if you have Geoffrey (Tailor) Ltd of Edinburgh make up your kilt:



Has anyone else on this side of the pond ordered from the 2nd run of the "X Marks..." tartan? I should like to think that mine will still be unique in the United Kingdom!!! ;)

[Riverkilt]

Aye Ham,

'tis a beauty too!

Boy, if any of you other members of the X Marks clan haven't figured out what a beautiful and versitile tartan this is you ain't paying attention.

Any kilt is fun to wear. This X Marks tartan is a joy to wear.

I'll wear mine on July 21st at "The Open"...Hamish' 70th birthday!

Of course you have, and that's great, Derek! If we don't meet up before you have it made up, we certainly MUST as soon as you receive it in kilt form. Think of the photo opportunities - the two of us in "X Marks...." tartan - if nothing else!!
