Source for American/Bicentennial tartan?

[Pleater]

If you go over the 2Kg limit for the Post office Air Mail (cost of 2Kg small packet to US is 19.58 UK pounds) then you have to send by carrier, where the limit is 10Kg, but the cost is rather higher.

I'm almost tempted to buy some of the fabric myself but it is just a teeny bit too razzle dazzle to fit into my wardrobe, I think.

A Brit . . . buying American Bicent.?

American Rev./War in reverse? :rolleyes:

The shipping to US was 27 pounds. Almost the cost of the fabric itself.

Review of material itself . . . coming soon to a computer near you!

Certainly no sillier than a colonial buying the American Bicentennial tartan from the UK!

Material review:

Blue is a nice shade. Much darker than looked on my computer. It is bright enough to be distinct from the black, while not being too "royal" either. The two thread wide pale blue "border" between the twin whites and the darker blue is there.
Repeat (full center to matching center)-> 6 7/8 inches

sevage-> where line of red to black would be. The full red block is there.

Feel-> very nice-> a bit on the coarse side (as it should be)

It is heavy weight (it was listed as 16 oz). I have not weighed it, but it "feels" accurate.

Possingk PMed me that it was made by Lochcarron, which is a VERY good mill.

I am very happy with my purchase. I would give it a "thumbs up" to anyone interested in this fabric.

Happy Colonial,

Hold down the alt key and type 130 on the number pad.

PM me if you'd like a table of common accentuated chracters that I keep taped close to my desk. I use é so often, I don't think about it any more.

Please read "Albion's Seed" and "The Cousin's Wars" before making such a statement. The majority of "Revolutionary" ideals in the American Rebellion were actually from English Country Opposition/Whig Thought, or "there's nothing new under the sun". Many folks in the UK voiced their support for the colonists, such as Robert Burns and Edmund Burke.

Not to mention the fact that the Black Watch (and many other British regiments) take no battle honours for the Revolution becaue "it was a war between kith and kin" -- that phrase is taken directly from the regimental history.
