    Hi Ian, Ive just instructed a company in South Africa to weave all of my 22 African tartans in wool and mohair. Amongst them is the Tanzania tartan. Im interested in passing production of garments to each individual country if possible. Do you think your apparel maunfacturers in Tanzania would be interested? Do they weave/print bespoke desighns in cotton?
