Adam,

All you'll need for your 4 yard kilt would be 2 yards of their double width cloth. You might want to tell the pipe band that 2 yards is all you would need and see if they can let you know if they have extra. Chances are, they might.

We had a bunch of Carolina tartan cloth woven up for a pipe band here, and in order to guarantee that the band would get enough cloth for all their kilts, the mill had to actually produce a bit more cloth than the band ordered. So we ended up with some yardage on our hands (sorry guys, it's all been spoken for already!).

So it might be worth a shot -- in any case, couldn't hurt to ask!

Remember, too, that I can always have what you want custom woven for you.
Aye,
Matt
