    To save up and get or not to...... Giant's Causeway Tartan.

    Hey all, I'm on the fence for my next purchase.....Giant's Causeway Tartan......I was wondering if anyone has it and if you could upload some pics for me to get a more accurate read on whether or not I'd like it.
    Thanks all.

    Have a look at this mate:

    http://www.giantscausewaytartan.com/

    They mention they supply "Jura" cloth, which I think is Marton Mills, so is presumably readily available.

    I am currently sewing up a kilt in Giant's Causeway tartan. It is indeed from Marton Mills (I picked mine up at the mill). The photos on the linked website are actually a pretty good representation of what the tartan looks like in person. I like it a lot.

    I've been to that website, but the pictures always show up grainy on my laptop. At least the kilt pictures do. Would you be willing to take some pictures of the kilt that your working on once its finishes. I also noticed that on the website, there are no pictures of the pleats.

    the huge swaths of grey don't do much for me, personally, but to each his own.

    Can do, but it might be a while yet as I am only nearly finished with the pleats and will still have quite a bit to do on it.

    Have a look at Paul Henry Kilts Facebook page he has recently made a kilt in the Giants causeway Tartan, scroll through his timeline photos and you will see it with the label marked Baker. Or you could PM one of our members westsussexbiker he has the kilt Paul made.

    Here is the link to the picture Simon mentions https://www.facebook.com/13900991613...type=3&theater

    I have to say I never quite understand if links like this work and I am still waiting to see westsussexbiker wearing it. We are due to meet up for a kilted afternoon at some point so hope to get some of my own photos when I next see him.
    Best wishes - Harvey.
