Hello! I’m preparing a great kilt for my husband to wear to a Renaissance Faire. We’ve been looking for bargain fabric so my husband can see if he likes wearing it before spending the money on a proper great kilt (as time goes on, we think it makes sense for him to spend good money on a nice modern kilt, but not necessarily on a great kilt that he’d wear once or twice a year, max, but I digress). I found 4 yards of double width wool fabric at the thrift store. I did a burn test at home, and it is definitely part wool, as it smelled strongly of burned hair. It also had some melted bits, so it must be a wool blend. My only concern is that it doesn’t look like kilt fabric to me, since it isn’t a plaid. It’s a dark chocolate brown with some lighter brown and blue stripes. I’ll post a picture, but please be aware that the color isn’t perfectly accurate. I did the best I could with my phone camera, but it looks darker on my phone than it does in real life. Anyway, how inaccurate is this? It’s a bit rough, which we like, but I’m not sure about stripes in the 16th century. Can anyone offer feedback? I would greatly appreciate it!
