Tartans Wish List

[seanachie]

Seems like a great place to jump in.

So far I have:
1- Kilt length of Lochcarron Auld Scotland tartan being shipped (thanks to Josh for the Ebay heads up!).

I agree this is a very nice tartan, I really like it. I am wondering, though, because you had ordered a length if it, is this only available by special order?
Is it not a tartan that is regularly available?

Thanks

I called Lochcarron and it is available and priced mid range (select) It may end up in my doorway someday (once I recover financially from my X-marks tartan order...)

I am sure anyone who sells Lochcarron's cloth can get it to you. Unfortunately Lochcarron does not sell directly to private individuals...

We can get this tartan for you from Lochcarron with no problem. Also I am sure a few of the other advertisers could get it for you as well. Very nice tartan to celebrate Robbie Burn's 250th anniversary. It was inspired by the modern version of the toast to the Haggis. It was launched in 2008.

No Seanaachie, it is my understanding that it is a new (2008) Lochcarron tartan but they have not updated their website in quite some time to reflect its addition. In fact, neither of the retailers that sell for them, Tantanandclan, and the one that is a direct link from the bottom of the Lochcarron website, show it in a tartan search on their sites either. But, I was informed by Scottish Tartan Museum that it is an available stock tartan (not special order).

I was able to buy 4 yards double width from an ebay retailer who was selling off a store's inventory. I got it for about half the price of retail. Woo hoo! I have a local kilt maker who will do the work. As it is a stock tartan, any kilt maker should be able to get it for you.

I didn't wait for a swatch as I did not want to miss out on the deal. But, it has received rave reviews from those people who have seen it in person.

I hope you get some!

Thanks for the response on this, I replied after safely locking the credit cards in the home safe. It seems I just find one "gotta have" tartan and another appears. This will go onto the "wish list" for the future. I do appreciate the reply.

I had to ponder this for a long time. Here goes...

Another US Army(have one) in box pleat, since I'm a soldier now.

US Navy, since I spent six years in the Naval Service before going Army.

MacKay, MacArthur, Gunn, and Gordon because of familial connections.

The Washington State tartan.

Oakley...just like it.

Maple Leaf, because I LOVE Canada. BC tartan too!!

McCarthy, Irish, but an "adopted clan." I have a blood brother who is a McCarthy and wants a kilt in that tartan...five kids and can't afford it. I'll get two when I can get it!! One for each of us.

Irish Nat., Scottish Nat., and American Heritage round out the list of "must haves" but the list itself goes on, and on, and...
