On eBay UK right now what I think is a good deal on wool tartan. It's a 60 in wide Lindsay tartan in new wool medium weight. I like it and am probably buying 4 miters for my first kilt project. At 28.40 per yard for double width it's priced pretty well and it might fit your needs. Thats about 114.00 for the needed 8 yards to make a nice kilt

Here's the item number, if your interested...
