    Thank you all for the photos. Like A Hay, I have a piece of Maple Leaf fabric and can't decide how to lay out the pleats. Does anyone have a photo of their pleats?

    Great photos, guys. The Maple Leaf is definitely on my short list; perhaps by next fall.

    I love the Maple Leaf tartan woven by Batley and made into a 5 yard kilt by USA Kilts. I felt I should wear the kilt and have it pictured in Canada with the US Niagara Falls in the background. It's easiest to get the falls in the background from the Canadian side.

    Might I ask who F&K are? I've just never heard of them.
