Yes.

Somewhat ot but I've been thinking about a saffron kilt for a while. Is the pv saffron really that brown? There seems almost no yellow tone at all.

I could see the Cape Breton being on my list of future kilts. They all look good.

It's virtually the same color (without the use of a color spectrometer) as the wool Saffron color from Lochcarron and MM in 16 and 13 oz respectively.

I'm really looking forward to pictures of a kilt made in the Cape Breton.

Looking forward to the pictures, Ern.

You now, I am constantly amazed each time I look at Marton Mills PV offerings that there is not enough interest in the Ulster tartan to manufacture it.

***. Ulster brown would be top of my list, well after the PA tartan I am ordering in a minute.

Wow that would be nice, I am assuming you mean the Ulster Peat, it has become unaffordable in wool with the way it is priced. I wanted a kilt in wool and HofE told my kiltmaker that even with it as a stock tartan they were charging the same for 29" width as 54" width.

That's not quite true... the mill (HOE) charges 1/2 the cost for 32" wide single width cloth that they do for 56" wide Double Width cloth. They started weaving most of the 13 oz material on high speed looms which give a kilting selvedge on 1 side and weave it single width. They then charge 1/2 the price of their old double width cloth for that same material. Basically, it works out to the same price as before.
