    New Tweeds!

    Heads up! I just added OVER 40 new Harris Tweed patterns to my available offerings in tweed kilts:
    http://kilts.albanach.org/tweeds.html

    Some people have asked me about jackets, as well. I don't have those on line yet, but feel free to contact me if interested -- these will be available, likely in the price range of $595 for an Argyle & vest combo.

    Some teasers...

    Very nice Matt, I'll have to pop over and see it all.

    I like the second one down very much, and even seeing the rest I must say I am drawn to it, perhaps once my bonus comes in we'll talk.

    Fantastic additions, Matt. I don't yet own a tweed kilt, but tweeds make me happy.

    Nice job on the swatches on your web site. The colors look true and the images are small and load fast.

    Matt... your different tweed outfits have inspired me. I'm making a tweed jacket / vest / kilt in a bottle green tweed with "DARK gold" boxes on it. The boxs are about 2" square. I'll post pics when it's finished.

    I've also found a source for 12.5 oz wool Pinstripes (I'll be receiving a swatch book in a week or so)... that may be my next "suit".

    For anyone teetering (or "Tweedering" [ducks incoming bottles]), go ahead and order one of Matt's Tweed kilts and jackets... they make a VERY smart addition to any kiltlover's arsenal.

    curse you Matt. I have said no more kilts for a year or so, but all the recent pics of tweed kilts are becoming very tempting.

    Pinstripes, Rocky? Oh man. As if I wasn't having a hard enough time wanting one of your solid black PV kilts and not being able to afford it. Add in Matt's new tweed range and your pinstripes and I really can't stand it! Oh well, I'll be making the faux lizard kilt next week, maybe that'll help.
