I received my new Canadian Maple Leaf kilt from Kathy Lare this week. This is the second kilt I've ordered from Kathy, and her work is absolutely fabulous.

The pictures below are clickable thumbnails.



This kilt is made from Lochcarron's 16 ounce Strome. I've worn it several times already and received about a half-dozen compliments from complete strangers. Judging by their reactions, I think this tartan appeals to a wider range of people than some. I have to say this kilt looks even better than I imagined from looking at a swatch. The red in the tartan is paired with just the right colors to make it look very rich.

When my wife and I travel outside the U. S. and our home state of Alaska comes up in conversation, the other person often mistakes our state for a Canadian province. I suppose this won't make things any better, eh?
