Source of good cloth

[Martin S]

On ebay, I found a remnant of a tartan I had been looking for (but which none of the shops I visited in Edinburgh recently could show me).
I had no idea what quality it would be, but at £8 a metre double width, I too a chance. I ordered 2m a few days ago, and this morning received 2.5 m of excelent 100% worsted wool with selvage, which I am fairly sure was made by House of Edgar.

Such cloth usually sold at some £40 !

Home kilt-makers take note.

The retailer is Nicassa, <http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Niccassa-and-Co>

No quibbles, quick service, and no outrageous p&p added -- £7 to France, whereas other sites commonly ask for £10 - £15 !!!

Howdy,

I bought several meters of Mackenzie tartan from Nicassa. It's not a kilting fabric, but a far looser and coarse weave called 'Saxony' by some. That makes it perfect for jackets, ties, skirts, etc. You're right about the price- it was worth it. All the gals in our family are happy now.

Cheers,

Kevin.

I tryed my luck and found "County Clare" "Campbell of Argyll" and "Georgia" tartan cloth. Not bad but $40USD plus $6.45 shipping and handling. Not a greatprice either.
