My fabric has a larger minimum than I need - what now?

You can order as little as one metre (about one yard) of most tartans and other fabrics that are available from stock. But for rarer designs, or your own original designs, there is a mimimum length that it is practical to weave.

Depending on the material, this can be just a few metres a single garment. But for some materials it may be a little more. The minimum amount is shown individually each fabric.

If this minimum is more than you need, there are several possibilities. (1) When you get to the checkout, you will see the option to buy the residual amount as cut fabric, or to purchase further products in that same material to make up at least the minimum; (2) you can switch to a different tartan, with a lower minimum order amount; or (3) you can proceed with your order anyway, and let our customer service team help.

Our expert staff can often advise a way around the problem in a way that automated systems cannot replicate. They might know that we happen to have a spare piece of your fabric coming into stock. Or they might know of another customer looking for the same material. Or they make be able to suggest suitable substitutions that you might not have thought of. The possibilities are endless.

If you place an order that we cannot fulfill without requiring extra tartan to be woven, we will always contact you to discuss your needs and preferences before charging. So you can rest assured that you will end up with a result you are happy with.
