I like asking other questions

I wasn't intending to wear denim as formal wear. As a musician, I'd probably be slaughtered by all my musician friends, if I didn't beat myself up first

On that note, thanks you guys.

Is there any other casual type fabric that would work on a 6-8 yard traditional style kilt?

I just like the look and feel of traditional types to American casual types.
Well...I take that back. Casual is cool too. But until Jimmy Carbomb (was it Jimmy?) puts together a resource on making casuals, I only have Barb's book and some patterns to go by. And those are Traditional types.

I'm thinking...dark urban camo traditional cut, with some sort of really awesome black leather sporran...

Jim may be putting together some referances for Kilts, but what I think you are refering to is the Book to be released some time in 2006 intitled
"The Art of Contemporary Kitmaking"
I am writing it, and Barb T. has agreed to act as editor and publisher.
As a companion work to Barb's book this will deal with machine sewn, Contemporary styled, modern fabric Kilts.

More details will be posted as soon as we have them.
