    I cannot speak to the quality or value of the Great kilt as I have never heard of the seller. The second fabric you suggested is a great price for a mostly wool fabric. A good everyday kilt would be the economy acrylic from stillwater kilts or if you are confident that you can sew a kilt, a x-kilt can be made from many tough, hard wearing fabrics that you will not worry about dirtying or damaging.

    Raymond, if you haven't already done so, scroll down in this forum to the thread about wrapping the Braveheart kilt. You'll learn a lot about great kilts that may help you with your project.

    Ebay is always an option for tartan fabric. I occasionally see acrylic tartan by the yard at reasonably low prices. It's probably the same stuff the Pakistani kilts are made of, and would be a good imitation of wool.

    I've been down this very same road and my advice is to avoid the suiting! It looks and wears like a lady's dress. Kilt fabric needs some weight to it if it's going to look like "man clothes."
