X Marks Tartan run 2

[Hamish]

That was my thinking as well. What are your thoughts of the pleating to the yellow stripe?

BTW...... Hope your feeling a bit better there, Ham!

Hi Blu,

Pleating to the yellow would have been my second choice. However, I do not really think the stripe is quite strong enough to carry a pleat. No, I'm glad I went for 'the sett'.

Thanks for asking. I think it's too early for any improvement yet, but the painkillers are working at last although the effects of them are not lasting very long. One thing I will say is that this business has given me the most miserable Christmas I can remember - apart from the pain, no outings, few visitors and no alcohol!! Oh, and a ruined Christmas dinner

I seriously thought of pleating to the yellow stripe. But like the white I thought it a bit strong. The yellow is just bright enough so that the back of the kilt would have a definite yellow cast.

I finally chose the gray stripe. It gives a subtle and muted look. Now with others chiming in I may be the only one who will pleat that way.

I'm with Ham on this, I think it will look best pleated to the sett.

And after seeing that demo I'm definitely in for a spring order!

And I'm sorry to hear that you Christmas didn't go so well. If you only weren't on the other side of the drink I'd have stopped in.

Well, the only one with fabric from the first run. I'll second the choice of the gray stripe, but it'll have to wait for the order ...

i like the pleating to the grey...and what looks like the blue in the second pic.

Hmmm... Looks like I'm going to have to lay this out on the bed and just eyeball it before I decide.

The fabric is 60" wide, and will come measured in Meters so you will actually get an extra 20".

Hmmm double width, eh?

Magnus could use a belted plaid...

If the orders aren't due in until spring/summer, I may actually be interested!

is the ordering of this still scheduled for spring/summer???

if so, my trad kilt making skills might be at the level for handling this.... sign me up for 5 yards please

Thanks :-D

The second run of the X Marks Tartan is still slated for spring/summer '06.
It will depend on how soon there are enough people ready to put their money down.

Minimum order is 30 meters. Or 8 confirmed orders for enough fabric for an 8yard kilt.

[Kilted Taper]

Ready whenever you say the word!
