Messrs Scott Adie of London?

Jeff,

Thanks very much for your input. The one I'm looking at is also here: http://www.tartans.scotland.net/tart...tan_id=311.htm Which is the same as the one you posted if you click on the image to get the full size. Aside from being smaller than the standard MoL, it also has the doubled red lines through it. I have the exact same thread count from the same source (what an *awesome* feature!!), K12Y2K12Y18C2Y4, which, when plugged into the Interactive Tartan Weaver pulls up perfectly. I have a company lined up to make it in 13 oz. worsted for quite an attractive price, with a minimum order of 30 yards. Now, what I'm going to do with 10 - 15 kilts-worth of material in the same tartan, I haven't the foggiest, but I have really taken to this version of MoL for some reason...

Give Matt over at the Scottish Tartans Museum in Franklin, NC a call. He is a member here as well, M.A.C. Newsome.

He can get you a kilt length run of any tartan. That way you don't have to buy so much. Unless you want that much. Then you could send the material to your kiltmaker of choice.

Was already seriously considering him for another quite special project I already have going. ;-)

It actually won't be too terribly much more between what I'd pay Matt for a 1-kilt run as what I'm looking at paying for this 30 yard run. A reasonable difference, at least...

Can you share the details of this weaver? I'm sure there would be many who would be quite interested in the details. If someone is weaving kilt quality material in this price range, it would be good information to have.

DA

I saw that double red stripe in the Macleod #3 as the only real difference between it and MoL, too, and figured that at the size of the sett it would not be noticeably different compared to the bigger sett of the MoL. IF all you are seeking is enough for one kilt definitely consider ordering from Matt, as he can get a run as small as 4 yards SW for one of his 4yd box pleated kilts, which are becoming a collectors item. If you are more into a standard 8 yd knife pleat, Matt could stil help you with that, or you could talkd to other kiltmakers who could special order the right amount of the tartan for you , and they get a bit more oof a discount. Lastly, you could go to DC Dalgleish, who will do a single 8yd or 8m run of a custom tartan at a standard rate of about 29gbp per yard, and then you can find your kiltmaker later and just send them the fabric and let them build it up. the Dalgleish infomation is available in another thread over in the General section under "Special weave..." Having a whole 30yd bolt, even of single width fabric, would leave you with a lot of extra tartan and an uncertain audience to whom you might be able to sell it. Before ordering you might want to post and ask if anybody else would like to get in on your special weave---other Macleods may be interested---and see if you can get an up front sale/order going to guarantee that you will be able to sell the excess from what you need, especially since you already know what the price of the woven bolt is going to cost you..

good luck with it. once your item (presumably a kilt) is completed, pictures will be in order.
