Canadian tartans

[ccga3359]

let's open this up: does anyone have photographs of anything (kilt, trews, tie, scarf, doily, etc) in a Canadian tartan?

Soon, very soon I'll have a kilt in Official Ontario which since I had to have it custom woven might be the only kilt in this tartan. I'm sure some of the BC rabble have kilts in their provincial tartan, and I sure there's more than a few in Nova Scotia. Bear Kilts of BC, I believe sold kilts in provincial tartans. Burnett's & Struth has offered provincial tartans in the past. A quick check of their online inventory lists BC and Maple Leaf 16oz casuals availiable.

Looks like one our MPPs beat you to it with the Official Ontario Tartan.


Also, it looks like Scottish Imports of Hamilton is now stocking the Official Ontario Tartan

Yep, it looks like he beat me (note to self get white hose) still it`s good to see our MPPs showing their pride. Edit; some research shows the kilted gentleman as Bill Murdoch of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound constituency. It was he who sponsored the bill to set aside April 6th as Tartan Day in Ontario. Thank you Mr Murdoch.

Interesting quote from Scottish Imports website:

Generally, the 13 ounce tartan is preferred for most kilts.

Really?

Yes, thanks Mr. Murdoch for sponsoring that bill!

Don't worry, though he may have received his Official Ontario Tartan kilt first, I'm sure you'll wear it better!
