Maple Leaf by golly ... long story
Yes this is a custom kilt in Maple Leaf. The story is thus: I purchased 5 metres of said tartan after it was pointed out to me by Sheep in Wolf's Clothing on Ebay (it's been a while, not 100% sure) and at first the woman on the other end didn't have it and refunded my money, then she found some and sent it anyway. I was going to sew it myself but after 1.5 attempts at sewing my own I determined I don't have the talent to live up to my own demands so I looked for someone to sew it for me. The one person sewing locally never responded and I mentioned it in passing to the gents at Sportkilt.
They asked me to bring it by sometime and when I did they said "Can we give it a try ?" I said why not. They also handed me a few mini kilts to distibute to girls I might know (see above picture).
Their sewing ladies put some nice effort into pleating it properly and it took a little longer than expected but I like it.
One of my bartenders is contemplating his first kilt now.
CT - always glad to add to the fray 
side note: Sportkilt is right up the street from my friend's helicopter, Athearn Model Trains, and down the street from my friend's restaurant and bar, the same street as my fiddle player.
