Maple Leaf Tartan

**starbkjrus** · 23rd January 07, 06:22 PM

Arghhh. I've REALLY been wanting a kilt in either the Maple Leaf or the Ontario tartans for quite some time. My Partner is Canadian and I"m a big fan of Canada for various reasons. Now I see this.

Hmmmmmm. I'm leaving tomorrow for Scotland and the Ferintosh Burns Weekend so cannot possibly spend a penny more this month. Hmmmm.

MacHummel, please tell me again how wonderful your products are.

Hmmmm. I happen to know my measurements by heart.

I'm sure the red in the tartan will bring out the red in your eyes perfectly after 8+ hours on a plane! Buy it so MacHummel can get closer to ordering it. I will make you an honourary Canadian!!!

Starbkjrus,

I don't think you can go wrong here. Were all excited about this one. I debated
before on getting this tartan in a kilt made by MacHummel. He could only get it in a lighter weight PV fabric and it was nice but this will be really nice in the heavier weight. I hope your in because I know you won't be disappointed.

Have a safe trip knowing your a few months away from a new kilt. A kilt that has a Canadian story to tell. You won't find many down your way and it may be a good conversation piece, your partner being Canadian and that it's the fall colors of Canada.

Enjoy Scotland for us all,

Kilted Stuart

Dances jig of joy, sings O Canada! and celebrates with a glass of Bailey's Irish Cream!

And looks forward to it arriving so I can book a trip to Canada and show it off at the Falls!

I was pleasantly surprised at the UKP - CAD exchange rate.

Lee,

I guess everyones in the same boat. Most of the 60-80 tartans are in stock at MM and they are usually fast to deliver over here. MacHummel usually has the more popular tartans in stock and a few he's making for himself or making up for show kilts for highland games. The Warrior tartan was one. He wanted to make a kilt out of it and it suddenly got popular once a few people saw it made up. The orders came in and he quickly went through a good sized bolt. But again those tartans only take a few weeks to get over here.

When you order a custom or non-stock tartan I'm sure it takes a while to set up the colors and release a first off to check quality of the run and have it approved by the person ordering. There usually a few options on size of the check pattern and size of squares for sett or stripe size. Once they set up and start the run it won't take long. Then they will have to send it over.

Once they send it to CCK it won't take him long to make them up. Some ordered are 5 yrd kilts I think so he'll knock them off fairly quick. I'm sure he has the order of delivery all set. As he makes them he'll send them out. Like I said he's been wanting to do this for quite some time. He'll want everyone to have there kilts to enjoy it for themselves. That's why kilt makers do what they do. They like to know people are enjoying there product and wearing the kilt with pride.
