Minimum Weaving Lengths

We can produce almost any garment or other product in a tartan design you create. But the practicalities of the weaving process means that we have to produce at least a few yards (or meters) of any fabric for you. So there is always a minimum order value, which may often be greater than the price of individual products.

Actual minimums vary from fabric to fabric. Our kilting wools are available in little more than a single kilt length (our minimum is ten metres [around 11 yards] of single width pure new wool material, while you need about eight yards for a traditional kilt in an average size). The minimum for polyviscose and other blends is a little more - eight metres in double width fabric.

Our products are priced on an individual basis, allowing you to order multiple items in the same fabric, to make up the minimum weave. The amount remaining to make up the minimum in your chosen fabric will be displayed in your Basket when you add items. You will find a link there to other products available in that fabric. Or if there is fabric left over after any garments or other products you order have been made, we will supply this remainder to you with your order. Please contact us if you are unsure.

If you choose more than one fabric (e.g. a heavy weight wool for one garment, and a light weight wool for another) the minimum length will apply to each.
