First, I would like to apologize for accidently sidetracking your thread.
I too admire the Maple Leaf tartan so I have an idea of how much you are looking forward to a kilt in this tartan. Are you going to have it pleated to sett or stripe?
an order on the 4th of July for 4 meters....................
will make a nominal 8 yard traditional kilt
Sorry if this has already occurred to you, or if I've picked you up wrong, but do you realise the Maple Leaf tartan is asymmetric? Ideally you'd want a single width piece about 7.3 metres for an 8 yard traditional kilt as you can't easily join a double width piece.
I can't answer as to the origin of the material that MacHummel uses but I can attest to the quality of kilt that he makes with that material.
That is the skull of the man who he KILT for calling his kilt a skirt.
