Kim and others with samples interested in Rep re-manufacture - I suggest send a small sample to Paul [earlier on this thread] - in the UK - who has the (Ledger corroborated) 'Margate' trim and can start to compare patterns properly.
I think the two samples may be the same pattern with different colour way, perhaps?
If some companies are saying £100 a metre for bespoke projects, I imagine something with a useable pattern in stock might still be £40-50/metre with choices of thread. If minimum order for a truly bespoke project is 50 metres, it definitely requires a consortium but it will be interesting to see how much Malcolm required.
One of the points will be how much consortium members wish to compromise over the weaving type to save cost... or not!
