I've already checked them out for Ontario .

[Wompet]

Well, mine finally arrived today. The shipper didn't put it in the mail until two weeks after I ordered it. Coincidentally, that was also after I e-mailed her to check the status of my purchase.
She blamed both postal services and US Customs for the delay.

Okay, enough about her lying - the fabric itself. It is a light P/V, lighter than my 11 oz CCK, with no selvedge. Given the feel, the 8 yarder I'll make will probably be a late spring-summer-early fall kilt. The reminder will probably be made into two lined 4 yard box pleats or a lined 8 yarder. But those are projects for later - I have to finish off my 18 oz 8 yard tank.

Well that bites, ***cough*** needing a tie ***cough*** but what about the colours?

[fluter]

but what about the colours?

Yes, please!

I ordered some of the Nova Scotia just this week. I've been thinking about the ML, if my pennies hold out.

Knowing the popularity of the Maple Leaf, people may want to jump on this quick. And remember - the Maple Leaf is asymmetric - you'll need 7.3 meters for a full-length kilt.

or 4 yards if you don't mind a kilt with a hem.

BTW... if it's the same stuff that Bear used to carry (or ANY of his Canadian Provincial tartans), it was a 9 oz weight, NOT "10-11" oz. Some people "beef up" their material weight to make it sound better than it is. Beware of this before you buy. Make sure you know what it is.

[Wompet]

Yeah, I would say that this is closer to 9 oz than 10.5 or 11 oz.
And the colors:
What Pete has:


What the eBay seller sold:

The colors are close enough that I don't think a picture of mine would look different enough to notice.
