    We done good for him...pleased smile..the Maple Leaf sold out in like...three days. On the website they say they only have 2 meters of the Ulster left. So THAT sold out, essentially, in three days as well.

    This forum must be among his best set of customers.

    I was sorely tempted by the Ulster, but I've got too many bills to pay right now =)

    Beautiful fabrics, great prices, but I already have the midweight MacBeth and after working on the blend I got at the same time, I'm considering finding someone else to make that up when I have funds.

    Wow.. that material went fast! I am guessing that it was all X Markers who snapped up the material.

    Do you do a Kingussie style knife pleat kilt?

    Hope you find somebody else to split some tartan with. would hate to see a tartan junkie denied a great fix like this deal.
    Sounds great! Absolutely to both questions, and I've sent you a PM.

    On the last point, I have to get my fix mainly from having tartan in my possession to enjoy while I'm making a kilt. So, I'll be OK!!

    As I described in detail on my PM I think I got aced out on this deal, as thistledown only got 8mtr of single width instead of double width, so none to share with me. Now it is all gone. Bummer. Another time perhaps.

    Will be instead sending you the Allen for a nice kingussie masterpiece probably very soon. Checking the current post xmas financing with my business manager---uhhh, wife--- first.

    Thanks again.

    Actually, Jeff, what I said in my pm was that it LOOKED like Gordon had shipped 8m of single-width, that I would be contacting him and would get back to you as soon as he and I had talked. We have now done so and he is dropping by this afternoon with the full 8m of double-width. If you are still interested, let me know.

    Well it looks like Fraser & Kirkbright's software sold more of the Maple Leaf than they actually had in stock. Gordon's been in touch with me this evening, most apologetic, and has sent me a refund. Some other time perhaps.
