-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Folks,
Sorry if you're fed up with this already, but I'd rather bore a few people than have someone miss out, since a) we have a deadline to meet for DebConf7, and b) there's a 300.00 GBP weaving set-up fee that people will have to pay if they were wanting something made in Debian Tartan but miss the first weaving run. So, if you were considering it, now's the time to decide, and tell me you're interested -- I'll be mailing all the people who've already contacted me soon after sending this, so if you don't get a mail and thought you were on my list, please get in touch. The design we're going for is here: http://hands.com/~phil/debconf/Debian10-large.jpg or http://hands.com/~phil/debconf/Debian10.jpg and the idea behind the tartan design is mentioned here: http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20070314.000133.6f145304.en.html The basic costs for kilts etc, are: Hand-sewn, 8 yard kilt: £420.00 GBP Machined, 6-yard kilt: £270.00 GBP Machined, 4-yard, skirt-kilt (lady's): £237.50 GBP [those kilts can fit up to a 46" seat size -- if your bum or waist is bigger than that you'll need an extra yard, at 30.00 for machined. Not sure for hand-sewn price, I'll find out if need be. No idea what the deal with skirts is, but can find out] Other things can be made, such as waistcoats. Since AJ asked, Apparently it would be possible to make ties out of this material, although it's rather heavy for a tie. If people are interested, it apparently takes 1.5 yards of material to provide enough to get the right diagonal, out of which there should be enough for 3 ties, and making them up costs 13.00 per tie, so if 3 were required it would cost about 25.50 GBP per tie. The cloth itself is 25.00 per yard, and is woven in a strip about 33" wide, so if you wanted to just buy some cloth to make up something yourself, that too is a possibility. People have mentioned wanting to make Tam O'Shanters and mini-skirts among other things. Anyway, I need to get the order in by the end of the week, so stop dithering and get in touch if you're interested. Cheers, Phil. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGAa2nYgOKS92bmRARAl2fAJ9OcYuD7zWGt1vbJEWJXTwaGrzysACcCb9u +2s/UvDPr9lIQmEmsOvFyL0= =cvX9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
