Tartan Design &
Recording Service
I will be delighted to design a
unique tartan for either your own personal use, for use by your clan/family
society, geographic region (such as a town, county, state, etc.), corporation,
club, or other organization. The tartan design service I provide
includes:
-
A custom designed tartan based
on any historical details or relevant information you can provide --
including name origin, connection with other known families/clans,
geographical details, heraldic details, personal history, etc. Three
different designs will be created and offered to you from which to select.
-
Your new tartan will be checked
against other tartans recorded in the
International Tartan Index to ensure that it is not too similar to any
previously recorded tartans.
-
You will receive a digital image
of the tartan for use on your computer, web site, and for other promotional
purposes.
-
A four-yard length of cloth in
either heavy weight (16 oz per yard) or light weight (11 oz per yard) twill
weave worsted wool, 28" wide. This is enough for a traditional
box-pleated kilt, a "casual" knife pleated kilt, or a lady's skirt.
Extra cloth can be ordered at an additional rate of $65 per yard. If
you are interested in having 10 yards or more woven of 54" wool, or having
your tartan woven in non-woolen cloth such as cotton, silk, or synthetic
blends, please contact me to discuss price rates.
-
Your tartan will be officially
recorded with the Scottish Tartans Authority. You will receive an
official certificate of recording from the
Scottish Tartans Authority, matted and framed with your new tartan.
Your cost for all of the above
is $925. Please feel free to
email me
with questions before you commit. A non-refundable $300 deposit is
required before design work is begun. The remaining $625 is due before
the cloth is woven and the tartan recorded. I will also be happy to
make a kilt from your new tartan for
an additional $220 tailoring fee.
After contacting me to discuss
your specific needs, I will inform you of the total cost and best way to make
payment. Thank you!
