    It is an upholstery fabric I found at a local Walmart.

    I thought it would make a cool looking kilt, so, there it is.

    ... Good eye! I have to agree with you... What's the fibre break-down?
    The spirit of the Declaration of Arbroath (6 April 1320) abides today, defiantly resisting any tyranny that would disarm, disperse and despoil proud people of just morals, determined to keep the means of protecting their families and way of life close at hand.

    I really don't know.

    It is Walmart stuff, they tend not to have info on their bolts.
    I have washed it and it was pretty much wrinkle free.
    I am guessing mostly poly or some other synthetic.

    It actually has a decent feel on the skin.
    I was afraid it would be scratchy or feel funny, but it hangs nice, is a decent weight, yet isn't so stiff it doesn't move.
    You can sort of see in a couple of the pictures the wind was blowing and it made it move really nicely, without threatening to blow upward to much.

    Thanks for the kind comments folks.

    Wow, that's a strikingly different look. You wear it well, nicely done and thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,
