    Yes, please do send resources. I have had a devil of a time finding good twill fabrics. I can find everything else, but not twill.

    Precisely. My first two X-kilts were made from Cotton Poplin, which although heavy enough, does not make the nicest kilt, and wrinkles horribly.

    The third probably had some Lycra in it, as it just didn't "feel" right. It was also pretty lightweight, and has been sentenced to "lounge" duty.

    I'm sorry, my sources are wholesale only. I buy in bulk. 75 to 100 yards per roll and sometimes 10-12 rolls of different colors.

    I searched fabric stores and the web for three years trying to find good sources. When I found a good fabric it was usually in a store like Fabricland or JoAnns where they are reselling the excess fabrics from large jobbers. It would be available only if that is what happened to arrive on the truck. I could not rely on it being there the next time I went in and they did not do custom orders. The best they could do was say, "Stop in again, maybe we will get more."

    If you are a licensed business with a tax number I will be more than happy to share my sources with you, but if not, it won't do you any good.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    That's what I figured. Not a huge deal. I'll have to do some more searching.

    I'd love to order one of yours - have for a while... Just cannot afford to do so right now.
