    How much is the tartan? Where from?

    Hi all,

    Being new to the forum I have missed out on much before. How much is the tartan? Where would I order it from?

    Looks gorgeous, by the way!

    Thanks

    Ham I wish that I was just not as far as I'am, I will be visting my Mother soon now the days are getting longer summer is coming and you are only 40 miles from her, If Steve reads this as well I have found a kilt maker only 20 miles away from where I live and they are all ready for me to take the tartan post hast to have made up for me

    Send a Private Message to Wizard of BC (Steve) and ask for details. You can also do a search on the forum as there have been a few threads about the tartan in the past.

    I gues I missed while out of town. I am so psyched! I can't wait to get a new kilt, and one in the XMarks tartan will be awesome. I have been fiercely resisting buying a new kilt for the past few weeks. My eBay knock-offs are starting to show their lack of quality and I seem to be in a tartan mood recently. Now, if I am just in the first round...

    Tonight when I was working my wife gave me a call...

    "Darling?" <---darling with a question mark is always bad news
    "Yes?" <---what did I do wrong?
    "I had a guy from Canada on the phone...your kilt is ready"
    "Huh? I didn't order a kilt!"
    "Yeah! sure!"
    "Was it Steve Ashton?"
    "Err....think so"
    "Ah!"
    "He'll send the kilt...the one you didn't order...to our home adress" <---cold voice
    "Ah! the X Marks tartan!"
    "The what?"
    "Oh!!!! he must send it to Barb!"
    "Who is Barb?" <---really cold voice
    "A kiltmaker"
    "Oh...okey"
    "Call him back and ask him to send it to Barb"
    "Uhh...okey, but I don't have his number"
    "Argh!!!!! uh...you can find it on his website!...Freedom Kilts...in my favorites"
    "Okidoki!"

    5 minutes later...

    "Sorted out!"
    "Great!"
    "So you didn't order a kilt?"
    "Mumble...mumble"
    "You're such an idiot"
    "I know...I know"
