Hello All,

My name is Ray. I am looking at getting some fabric for my first great kilt and I found a website that sells fabric in bulk.

Here is what I am looking at...

https://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/p...-plaid-suiting

First, this is not an official tartan. I just like the color and I like the price. Here is what the site says about the fabric

Midnight Brown, Black & Ecru Glenplaid Lightweight Stretch Suiting Fabric with Soft Hand Suitable for Dresses, Slacks & Suits 70% Wool 28% Polyester 2 % Lycra 60" wide Hand Wash Cold or Dry Clean

Here is a second bulk cloth that I was looking at...

https://www.fashionfabricsclub.com/p...laid-outerwear

Charcoal, Black & Sterling Muted Plaid Wool Outerwear Fabric Suitable for Capes, Shawls & Jackets 80% Wool 20% Polyester 58-60" wide Hand Wash Cold or Dry Clean

I am assuming that the ends are finished and all I would have to do is "tassle" the two ends and sew them off to prevent them from fraying.

What is your opinion on the fabric, would these do for a great kilt?

I am a newbi to kilts. I also live in Costa Rica and I do not have access to kilts and such. So just running out and ordering one is not something that is practical, nor is having something shipped here to Costa Rica. It is a royal pain.

So please give me your input and let me know.

Ray
