Tartan Ordering Process

You must be an official member of The Clan Claus Society to order tartan.

To place a tartan order we must order a minimum of 30 meters at a time. The entire order must be the same weight (13oz - 16oz). The fabric is double wide approximately, 140cm (55”Inches). There seems to be a strong interest in 16oz fabric so we will be ordering 16 oz. tartan this time. Tartan takes anywhere from 8 - 12 weeks to weave depending on how busy the mill is at the time we place the order.

Here is the process:

1)      You are responsible for your correct measurements and your correct yardage amounts.  I would suggest that you work with a kilt maker for this.  Measure twice!

2)      If you don’t have a kilt maker, contact USA Kilts www.usakilts.com or John Higgins at www.jhiggins.net  they will help you out. We have worked out an arrangement with each vendor and they will accept your own supplied tartan. You must tell them that you will be sending them your Clan Claus Society tartan.

3)      Individual tartan orders must be paid in full and are not refundable. I must pay for the tartan in full when I place the order.  You will only pay for the fabric in advance.  Shipping will be billed separately.

4)      If you are planning to pay via Pay Pal or Square the 3% fee from Pay Pal and Square will be added to your order.

5)      The price for tartan on this order is $58.00 per meter.

6)      All the tartan will initially be shipped to me, (the mill will not drop ship to anyone else).

7)      Shipping: There will be two (2) shipping costs. 

a.       First shipping cost is from the mill to me.  This will be shared equally by all those ordering fabric.  Last time we ordered fabric the shipping was about $185.00 for 60 meters.

b.       Second shipping cost will be from me to you and will be specific to your order.

c.       Tartan will not be shipped out until the shipping charges are paid.

8)      Once I receive the tartan, I must check all of the fabric to make sure there are no issues. I will then cut it and ship it to you.

 

NOTE: The last time we ordered tartan there was a surprise tariff. ($200.00 USD.  It was quite a big surprise) All of our previous orders have never had a tariff. I paid the tariff fee because everyone had already paid in full.

Should we get another tariff on fabric orders going forward I will divide it among all those purchasing tartan at this time. 

 

To place your order contact me using my direct email santakona@gmail.com. Supply me with your name, current address, email and your phone number along with the total number of meters you would like to order. To insure your order is received do not message me through Facebook or on ClausNet.

 

Any question please feel free to call me at 440-725-2107.

    • 10 Essentials to Being a Better Santa
      Here are some DOs and DON'Ts on being Santa

      Treat every child with respect.


      Never make fun of a child.


      Look into the child’s eyes when you speak to them.


      Speak softly. Children are sharing confidences with you.


      Acknowledge a child’s requests even if you don’t understand them.


      Never promise a toy request to avoid a child’s disappointment.


      Never promise a pet. Santas a toymaker and only animals produce pets.


      If the child can’t remember their wish list, assure them you know what they want.


      Never leave a child wondering if Santa heard their Christmas wishes.


      Every child worries about being on Santas “Naughty or Nice List”. Tell each child “You’re on the “Nice List.” It will bring happiness to everyone!

    • How do You Portray Santa?
      Portraying Santa is acting; it is a characterization of a mythical character.

      Most of us never think of ourselves as actors, but we are. Certain characteristics of Santa Claus have been handed down from one generation to another. The way we dress and conduct ourselves all follow an established pattern.

      Santa Claus is one of the most recognizable characters throughout the world. This came about from the advertising campaign of the Coke Cola Company and the creative painting genius, of Haddon Sundblom. Coke Cola was looking to increase winter sales of its soft drink and hired Sundblom to produce illustrations for prominent magazines. These illustrations appeared during the holiday season from the late 1930s into the early 1970s and set the standard for how Santa should look.

      This characterization of Santa with rosy cheeks, a white beard, handlebar mustache plus a red costume trimmed in white fur is the image most everyone has in their minds. Unconsciously people are going to judge you against that image. If your beard isn’t white or you have a soiled suit it will register with the onlooker.

      By the way, the majority of Sundblom's paintings depict Santa with a Brown Belt and Brown Boots. Not until his later illustrations did he change the color to Black for these items. Within the past few years many costume companies have offered the Coke Cola Suit and it has become very popular. You can tell it by the large buttons and absence of fur down the front of the jacket.

      No matter how you portray Santa, be it home visits, schools, churches, parades, corporate events, malls, hospitals we all make an entrance and an impression! The initial impression we make determines if our client will ask us to return.

      The 5 Second Rule

      I have a theory: When you enter the presence of your audience you have about 5 seconds to make people believe you are the real Santa.

    • Not Everyone Can Be Santa!
      Yes, I said it and it is not meant to hurt anyone’s feelings. I do view many Facebook sites along with websites and posted photos. Frankly, many of these postings should have never been put on public display.

    • Auld Lang Syne
      Every New Year’s Eve at the stroke of midnight, millions around the world traditionally gather together to sing the same song, “Auld Lang Syne”. As revilers mumble though the song’s versus, it often brings many of them to tears – regardless of the fact that most don’t know or even understand the lyrics. Confusion over the song’s lyrics is almost as much of a tradition as the song itself. Of course that rarely stops anyone from joining in.

    • Is it time to start calling out Bad Santas?
      Is it time to start calling out Bad Santas?

      Do you think we should start calling out those in our community whose actions or behavior is unbecoming of Santa Claus or Mrs. Claus?
