    Looking for PV or Acrylic Canadian Tartan Kilts

    So!
    I've introduced myself to the forums, after great debate as to join.
    I've googled and searched all over trying to find what I'm looking for and I think this is JUST the place to find it!
    I tried searching the forums in the search bar but I came up with nothing.
    I hope you(s) can help!!

    I have bought an acrylic black kilt off of ebay, and I love it. But with a wedding or two coming up in the summer I'm looking for new duds!
    I really want a Nova Scotia tartan kilt and a Maple Leaf Tartan kilt!
    I'm hoping to find it made near by (Canada. The more East Coast the better), with reasonable prices and shipping costs.

    If anybody knows of a store or, hell, makes them themselves, I am looking for something poly viscose or acrylic!

    Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to XMarks, Pit Rat.

    In Canada, Keltoi and Burnetts&Struth (advertisers on top banner) are probably the closest to you, but I don't know if they make kilts out of the materials you mention.
    Freedom Kilts -- in British Columbia -- (advertiser on top banner) can make you a kilt out of polyviscose. The Maple Leaf tartan is available in polyviscose, but I am not sure about the Nova Scotia tartan.

    For an acrylic kilt you should probably look at Stillwater Kilts (http://www.stillwaterkilts.com/). That company is in the US, but prices and shipping are really reasonable!

    Good luck in your quest.

    Also check out USA kilts, vendor at the top of the page here. They make some great kilts and have a huge selection of PV tartans that may include the ones you want.

    Canadian Casual Kilts claims to have the exclusive rights to the Maple Leaf tartan in polyviscose. I haven't dealt with this company, so cannot comment on their service or the quality of their products. It appears to be a Canadian company, but there is no physical address given on their website.

    I took a look through their order form and did not see either Nova Scotia OR the Maple Leaf Tartan.

    I can be pretty sure they are Canadian, and likely in Toronto, because I recognize the men modelling the kilts as members of this forum, and at least one I have met in person.
