Great Kilt

[bigdad1]

Canada is a very large country. Where in Canada if particular? Try "The Wisard of B.C." for fantastic kilts. That fine gentleman is in Vancouver.

Sorry should've been more specific, I'm not very educated in them, so I guess by 'real' I pretty much just mean not a cheap costume, something thats made with the proper materials and as close to authentic as possible, maybe something they'd use for reenactments or movies.

As for where in Canada, I'm in the Toronto area, further in Canada would also be o.k. as I could get it shipped, I'd like to avoid customs cost and all that coming from US.

All you need is 4.5-5 yards of double-width (56"-60") wool tartan fabric, and you have a "great kilt." You might be able to find it in a local fabric store. If not, talk to John at Keltoi (one of the sponsored vendors here, and located in Ontario) and he can order you the cloth from any one of the usual Scottish mills.

For a truly authentic plaid, as previously mentioned, order 9 yards of single-width (28") tartan, cut it in half, and sew the two pieces together along the long edges. Your final product will be 4.5 yards long, and now double-width - and just like the plaids of old...!
