Gray,
It's poly/viscose.
Andrew likes the 12 yard length, though it's too heavy for me. He's big enough to carry it all day.
I had to fight that monster through my HD sewing machine for 2 full days! When the pleats are that deep, (almost 5"), there are 22 layers of fabric to sew through! That's over a full 1/2" compressed! Often, I had to push the pedal all the way down and help the motor by spinning the wheel hard to get one stitch! I could smell the oil in the motor burning!
No more 12 yard kilts until I get a leather sewing machine!
