Welcome from just down the road. Firstly search SOKS for a kilt night near you, we've had a few at the Ivy Arms when Hunting McLeod play. Our next scheduled event is a Global Kilt Night October 27th in Oakville. Meet the lads and show off your new kilt. Speaking of your kilt, it looks like you did a tremedous job. I'd press the pleats though, they look box. A good scorce for tartan is Len's Mills, there is a store in Hamilton. Also someone just posted about some Maple Leaf material on ebay.

Thank you all for the welcome.

And thanks for the tip on Lens Mill. I am not at all pleased with both the selection and the customer service at my local Fabricland. I'll check them out soon. I've been commissioned to to make a kilt for my 5 yr old daughter in green Erskine

At times apparently Wally World has some fairly decent tartan. I have yet to see any but with colder weather coming they might start carrying some.

Welcome and congratulations form Eastern Washington State. Yes, don't buy cheap fabric, etc. Making a kilt is too much work to waste on unworthy fabric.
