New Registered Tartans

Rocky,

I love the German Heritage tartan!

Too many tartans, so little money, sigh

Cheers

While it's not in my hands yet (well... the 5 yard samples are), I had to order "a good sized quantity" of each tartan and Marton Mills agreed to add it to their permanant range. These tartans will all be available on a regular basis through ANY kiltmaker that gets material from Marton Mills (not just USAK).

If you want Matt Newsome to make you a 4 yard box pleated American Heritage, he can! If you want Barb to make you an 8 yard hand sewn kilt in the German American tartan, she can! If you want to order a 5 yarder or a Premier from us, we can make it!

Hopefully the tartans will catch on and American and German Americans will "step outside the Family tartan box" and get a kilt! I also hope that this will help some people overcome fears of "I can't get a kilt b/c I don't have a family tartan" by adding to the "universal tartans" that ANYONE can wear.

They're Gorgeous, Rocky.

Those are great! I love the American Heritage Tartan!

Those are great Rocky!
I know my wife liked the German National, but I think she will really like these as well!
I'm looking forward to seeing them in person!

Oh noes.

I feel a hankering for the American Heritage Tartan.

I mean... Look at it. So dark.

**Dreadbelly** · 10th January 07, 10:55 AM

Oh Rocky, that's not fair.

The front is beautiful! The back, not so much. The stripe is just to bright for me and ruins the wonderful dark.

Pleated to the sett would be handsome, or pleated to the red stripe would be droolworthy. Of course this means centering the red stripe in the front.

Oh gosh that is purty... And I am usually put off by red white and blue stuff.

You, sir, (and those like you) are the bane of my wallet's existence!

Looks like there's another one to add to the list, although I'm not sure which one I like the most, the German Heritage or the German American one!

Is that a premiere or a 5 yard? Does Kelly like that one? If not I can probably convince my wife to let me get another 'Rocky hand me down'. I really like it pleated to that stripe.

The one I'm wearing in this pic is about a 7 yarder (not a whole lot of material in my initial run to make a full 8 yarder with the 5 yarder I had to make for a customer on XMARKS), done in the "Premier" style to the stripe.

The American Heritage tartan will NOT be a hand-me-down. Since I've lost 20 pounds (with 8 more to go), it's one of 3 or 4 that still fit me! I DO have a couple more that you can check out though... stop by and I'll bring them in for you.
