Yes, 'garbardine' refers to the type of weave and is used to make trench coats and cargo shorts. The fabric can be cotton, wool, or some synthetic.

Jack

De nada. I'm glad that you like and "steal" my idea, but is ®. Im sorry.

Im Joking, just remember dont ironing masking and dont sew it neither. will lose your stitches when remove the masking.

and do some test with the fabric first, with mine there was no problem but maybe others (like wool) may have some.

And if you have success and think this is a better way to do Kilts, just post another Thread to motivate others for DIY kilt.

Un beso (If Im wrong and you are a guy then, this kiss will make a lot of fun in the forum, lol)

I think that garbadine/cotton is harder to keep ironed than is wool, so it is not surprising that there is curling.

What reaction have you had when you wear it? I was just in the Caribbean for three weeks, and people kept asking if I was English. One woman asked if Scotland was near Holland.

GRacias Galician, realmente es un buen ambiente.

about the fabric: I buy it thinking its cotton polyester. then I realize is 100% cotton. Is a pain in the... arm. the rigth one, the one I use for ironing. LOL

So I learn about fabrics, and decide to wear it curly until made another Kilt. I hope this will be soon.

In the caribbean the people are more open and "extrovertidos" here in capital city they dont say nothing. Some teens (males) laugh a lot in the supermarket yesterday but shut up when I look at them, (not a bad look, a friendly one). Im a little "distraido" so don't realize people are looking me, My girlfriend do.

A funny situation was when I go to buy a subway (sandwich), when I was going out, the security guy was goin to open the door for my (they do it for males and females always) but when he realize I was a man wearing a "skirt" he freeze. He really don't wan't to take a mistake. He must thaught that if he open the door I will feel he is traiting me like a lady, so he freeze then take a step back.

I was really funny. 3 days after I was again, in trousers and he open the door.

Another funny situation was a group of guy in the trunk of a pick up, they was passing I was Walking. One make this whistling fiu fiu. And thay all laugh, so I look at him and said "What a bad taste you have!". all his fellows laugh a lot and he turn RED.

Besides this funny reactions IF someone say something usually is positive. and a few want to make kilts or at least to wear one.

we are spreading the Kilt. Thats good.
