This was the first time I had ever worked with this type of material.
Unlike you, I haven't worked on any other heavy stuff to compare it to.
This was the first tartan kilt I ever worked on.
I have only made modern type kilts, usually out of Poly/Cotton blends.
In fact, I don't even own a tartan kilt myself yet.
I bought some in a different tartan to make myself one.
I think it is just a fashion tartan, not really sure.
I just bought one I liked the looks of.
They only had 4 yards of it, so I am going to try to box pleat it and see how it comes out.
I will post some pictures when I get a chance to work on it.
