A Word of Warning
Before You Order Tartans

A word of warning is a quick summary of things to double check as you order tartans. Each supplier has slight differences, so be sure about exactly what you are ordering ~

• Buy a sample swatch to verify color, texture, weight, and quality of the tartan
  
  
• Is the tartan being sold in yards or metres (39 inches)?
  
  
• What is the width of the tartan?
  
  
• Is the price in British Pounds Sterling (₤, GBP) or U.S. dollars ($, USD)?
  
  
• If the tartan source is a UK company, what are the shipping charges?
  
  
• Is there an import duty on the specific item? Call a U.S. customs office to verify.
  
  
• What is the estimated delivery time from the tartan source?
  
  
• Know the difference between Modern, Antique, Old, Hunting, Dress Tartan
