There is actually quite a few things to be said about this order. I will start with the order process itself. The Scotweb team was very helpful and forthcoming when I needed to have two swatch-orders combined as I recently moved to England and didn't want the shipment to arrive back home in Norway. Top job! Unfortunately, there were quite a few delays in the production of the final swatch, and here it would have been helpful if the order status had been updated more often than it was. At the longest, the order was one week over due before the status was updated with a new expected dispatch date. I did receive one e-mail from Scotweb concerning this delay, and they did upgrade the delivery method to Priority Next-Day without extra cost to me. Thank you for that! On to the swatches. I ordered two from "lochc" and one from "hedga", and as you can see from my photo, the size difference is quite substantial. The one from "hedga" being the smallest. The illustration photos on the website is a bit misleading, for as you can see on my photo, the swatches comes stapled to a sheet of paper rather than in the neat way they are portrayed online. Nevertheless, I would never second guess the decision to buy a swatch before purchasing a kilt online. The ability to see and feel how the fabric really is has unprecedented value!
