Interest in Carolina tartan?

That is a beautiful tartan. Is it for North Carolina only, or both Carolinas?

It's the official state tartan for both NC and SC.

I'm definitely hoping to get one in Carolina myself, though it will be sometime next year, after I return Stateside. To be honest, I intend to make a trip up to the shop, and get myself all sorts of goodies

After viewing the variations of the tartan on the Carolina Tartan page - I would be very, very interested in the reproduction/weathered Carolina tartan or the Brown Carolina, over the modern... As much as I love the colors, I find the bright blue a little "clashing" for my own eye (travesty, I know!).

Hi, Matthew.

I just wanted to bounce this to see if anything had come of it. For my first good kilt, the Washington State tartan is my first choice. But, as a former Durham, Creedmore, and Fuquay-Varina resident, I am also interested in adding the Carolina tartan to my collection. Is there stock of the Carolina tartan?

Thanks.

Is there stock of the Carolina tartan?

I'm not Matt, but I'll answer: no. There was some stock of the previous bolt, but when it sold out, it sold out. I hope the next bolt will be ordered soon, but I think it's dependent on having enough demand from customers to justify the Museum having it woven.

Thanks. In that case, I will just document my interest and hope some more can be made.

Gorgeous tartan!

I had a client recently order a kilt and plaid in the Carolina tartan, which we are having custom woven for him. When I put the cloth order in, I had them weave some extra material for us to have on hand. Not a full bolt, or even half bolt, but it would be enough for a couple of kilts (depending on the yardage).

It will be a couple of months before it is ready. I'll announce when it is here, but in the meantime if anyone wants to lay claim to some, let me know.
