    Good job Gary. The material pattern reminds me of tweed. The accessories are a perfect match.

    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.

    Well made, but that material and the "pink camo" are definitely "not me"

    Well done. Did you have the idea and go looking for fabric, or find the fabric and go "Oh! Kilt!"?
