    However, I would recommend doing the kilt first in your inexpensive fabric, because as your first kilt, you'll very likely make a few small mistakes. Once you've learned how to fix those mistakes, then make the kilt again in a more expensive wool cloth.

    I, of course, have never made a kilt in my life, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

    Welcome to the forum. I have Davidson connections as well.

    The Davidson Clan site says that the fabric is lightweight, so I'd be inclined to reject it for a kilt. Kilts need weight to them to hang & swing properly.
