Help Choosing X-Kilt Fabric?
I am making X-Kilts for my husband and his brother. We have finished the first version using some cotton duck that we already had. It has been deemed "too stiff" by the menfolk, so I am looking for a softer twill-weave. Our fabric shop is useless, and buying fabric I've never touched makes me nervous.
I am trying to avoid a poly-blend because I hate sewing artificial fabrics. I've considered a 100% Cotton or Hemp/Cotton blend, and am looking for the voice of experience. Anyone?
Also, what is more important, weight or hand? Will a lighter weight, drapier fabric be better than a stiff-but-heavy one?
Thanks in advance!
