I am going to try to look up some info on it but it looked and wore almost exacly like wool.
I think it is actaully wool, but I am not sure since I don't know fabric, but A lot of us sailors had a tailored U.S. Navy Uniform made by "Sea Fairer" and I actually still have mine and I just looked at the tag yesterday and it says it is 100% wool., It is so very smooth like a good worsted wool only better yet. I think the material that uniform was made out of would make a great kilt.

Here is a link to some 100% wool 10oz. Gaberdine I just found.. http://www.fabrics.net/outlet/Detail.asp?ProductID=3520 What do you think- Good Kilt stuff?
