Kiltmaker's Input Requested, & Who Wants Cthulu Tartan Yardage?

[jason10mm]

This is just too cool. Hmmm, now to get a sporran sporting the elder sign, a ritualistic sgian dubh, and the appropriate kilt pin, hose, and flash!

I'm new to most of this, so what exactly are we buying? 4 yards of double width would be appropriate for a belted plaid/great kilt, right? Or it gets cut in half lengthwise and can become a kilt (just 4 yards means box pleats, right?) and plaid?

And this is coming from scotland, so we have to cover shipping? Or is someone stateside ordering it all and will distribute it locally?

You have it basically correct four yards of double is sewn together to make eight yards of material for a traditionally styled knife pleat kilt. Only four total yards (two double width) is needed for a box pleat.

I've already got a few ideas in this department...

The current plan is to receive the order into the US and break it for re-shipping. Right now the bulk of our U-Misk alum appear to be in the US.

So we'd each basically pay a small fraction of the major postage/possible duty and then the actual shipping cost to YOU.

Could be in for four yds double width, depending on final price figures.
