A client in the UK sent me this cloth to make a kilt from. He obtained it from an English supplier named Dashing Tweeds, and this particular one is called "Urban Tweed."

What is unique about this one is that there is a single reflective thread woven into the weft of the cloth. When it catches the light just right, it glows! It's hard to do justice to the effect in a photograph, but that didn't stop me from trying.

Here's a picture taken with no flash.


Now, keep your eye on the pleats between the two thin yellow lines. Here's another pic, this time with the flash on.


A white line suddenly appears!

Here is a picture of the entire kilt where you can see the reflective line on each of the pleats.


I believe my client said he was getting a matching jacket and waistcoat made from the same cloth. Should be an interesting looking outfit!
