Depending on the size of the sett, and the size of your waist you could have one REAL nice kilt! That's just something that I used to LOVE to do when I could. There's NOTHING like taking a family tartan and making it into something useful!!!

Just be REAL careful to get a kiltmaker that knows EXACTLY what they're doing. Your material is a HUGE part of the expense of the kilt, so you "should" be able to have one made for a nice price.

Since it's an older wool, it will need to be conditioned by the kiltmaker prior to the sewing. Eventhough it's been stored nicely, there are "things" that happen to it over time. The sewing and bending process can severely weaken the fibers. If your kiltmaker doesn't know how to do it... than you've DEFINATELY got the wrong kiltmaker!

Wool conditioning is THE FIRST thing that my instructors taught me.
