That sounds like about my luck. I had just started hiding away a few dollars a week towards the purchase of my first nice kilt (and sadly I do mean a few dollars). While doing my calculations as to how long it would take I thought I was being oh so smart and factored in a "price increase" fudge factor; sadly I only did 18% not 30%. Ahh well what's an extra few months of jonesing. Out of curiosity what is the primary country of origin for wool of high enough quality for tartan weavers?
