X-kilts were designed for entry-level kiltmaking on cotton-based fabrics. Having seen your exquisitely worked camo X-kilts, it now appears you are progressing upward in your craft (or deeper into the addiction. )

Wool fabric, especially the lighter weights, will probably not meet your expectations if used to construct an X-kilt using the instructions as written. Kilts made from wool generally need the hair canvas underlayment in order to hold their shape and to prevent tension stresses on the pleat stitching and the fabric itself.

Instead of F&K wool tartans, you might go to their U.S. distributors website, The Scottish Weaver, and look at their range of cotton tartans.
