Where to find a plant-fiber Black Watch tartan?

[Mr. Beard]

A blend would be fine, if it didn't contain any synthetics. I hear all sorts of good things about polyviscose as an affordable kilt material but it's just not for me.

I'm fully prepared to be a wrinkle magnet. Well, I say that now, we'll see how I feel after dealing with it for a while, but I want to give it a shot.

For a moment I almost thought of using something like this:

...and doubling it up and stitching it together just to see if it would work as a weird fabric laminate. Then I realized I was applying woodworking ideas to fabrics and that maybe it was a pretty silly idea and would result in the most ridiculous looking and poorest-wearing kilt ever.

I've made many kilts out of linen or cotton, or linen/cotton mixtures, yes they do crease, but I edge stitch each pleat, inside and outside, and that helps to reduce the worst of it, but I do give it a light press before I wear everytime.
Don't be tempted to use two layers together, it's a recipe for problems, sorry.
And as to plant fibre black watch, sorry I can't help, but I'd stay away from brushed cotton types, it's unlikely to hang well and will have an attraction to itself!
