Does any a the rabble have experience either owning a kilt or sewing a kilt in with the Homespun material from Celtic Croft?

I bought an economy from Croft in the homespun Hunting Scott. I really like the fabric but am not impressed with the cut of the kilt as the pleats seem too narrow and it doesn't seem to hang as well as my others. I think it was made overseas. Good folks to deal with, though.

I have a phillabeg made by Celtic Croft in " brown watch".
It is my renfair kilt and I couldn't be more pleased.
The fabric has a rustic look and for me, the construction was spot on.
If you go this route for a more "historic" look, specify no pressing to the pleats. You will be happier with the result.
For the OP,
The weave is very slightly looser, you will see the occasional slub and/or snag. For me this was a plus.
It has a pleasant hand, and the color is good.

A couple of reasons for this question, my wife wants to get me a great kilt and her self a Arisaid. I was thinking about trying my hand at sewing my own kilt. I was just wondering if it would be good material for a first timer.

I have a Great Kilt and 2 economy kilts (the Great Kilt and one economy in MacNeil ancient, the other economy in Ulster Red, but I digress) in the homespun wool from Celtic Croft. Love all of them! I'm still trying to figure out the care instructions, the tag says "machine wash gentle" and the next line "dry clean only" so I'm confused there. I haven't gotten them dirty enough to be an urgent issue yet. Otherwise, love them. They're a heavier wool, good for cooler weather, but still great kilts. (See what I did there?)
