Does anyone who has seen the fabric I'm talking about know how suitable it would be for making a kilt?

By the way, it's on sale right now: $5.59 a yard.
My local JoAnn's has a collection of (mostly) tartans called something like "English sportswear collection". It's mostly brushed cotton flannels, but some poly-rayon blends. If it's one of those, I don't think it's suitable. The poly blends might be, they're a touch lightweight. And they're only 44" wide, so unless you're very short, you'd need to buy a lot (and have very large left overs....).
