Where to order from...

I think you're going to have a very difficult time making a kilt from anything less than four yards, and that will probably be a box pleat, which is perfectly fine. If you want a lot of pleats, you're going to have a hard time getting them with four yards of fabric.

I'd encourage you to look at USA Kilts, as Zardoz suggests. And it's in polyviscose -- washable, comfortable and convenient as all get-out.

It does seem like an ambitious mission but with the right compromises, do-able it seems.

Encouraging.

I think he has double-width fabric in mind... in which case wouldn't four yards of it (equivalent to eight yards single) be plenty? Even three yards (six in single) should be ample, methinks.

My bad.

Thanks everyone, I will most likely be going with the hand spun tartan from Celtic croft.

Of course now I'm having thoughts of going with a Black Watch Tartan instead of ancient Campbell, they're basically the same thing save the shades of color. Just having trouble deciding since I want to get into colonial/American Revolution living history and reenactments, I don't know how well ancient Campbell will fit in that category. (IF any has advice, please tell. The decisions never stop do they?
