For our Canadian friends

[Macman]

Thanks, Todd and Shane. I never knew about the military connection.

Cheers,
David

I agree w/ Auld. My partner is Canadian and I have to say I love that country. Before we met I had been to Canada once or twice as a child and (like most of us in the states) assumed it was just like the US only north. Getting to know Canada over the last 7 years has been just amazing. We travel quite a bit and I've gotten to see a great deal of Ontario, Alberta and BC and get to know a lot of people too. Unless the US Imigration Service gets its act together we may find ourselves selling the house and heading north.

To finally bring this On-Topic: As soon as Fraser & Kirkbright can resolve which one of the two "official" Ontario tartans (it looks to me like when the Provincial Government adopted the official tartan in 2000 they forgot they already had one - at least according to Heritage Canada) I'm going to start looking for someone to make a kilt in it. There are several Canadian District Tartans that are really very nice. As I believe I have seen Graham write: So many tartans so little money/time/patience. :smile:

Certainly looks like my kilt tartan, Maple Leaf. Yes, it would be military, just without the history as it is a newer design (confirming above comments). I'm very pleased with mine, which is army surplus, as it matches nearly everything. I can easily dress it up or down, fall colours and all.
