I have fabric to make 3 kilts but I have narrowed it down to my next project. I always wanted to make a kilt out of softshell outdoor fabric but it would be too thick. I found some Windproof outerwear fabric that has fleece on the inside. Supposed to have the same properties of soft shell at a fraction of the thickness. This will bring a little bit of the NW to the kilting world.

I plan on using some nylon webbing to use at the waistband for stabalization and use slide locking plastic buckles as my closure. As far as pleating goes, I was thinking a standard knife pleat with a slight overlap.

I dont know if anyone has used this kind of fabric before, but any hints, help, and comments would be greatly appreciated. I havent laid out any pleats or made any cuts yet so I can still use the rabble's advice.

Pics of the fabric will be posted soon.
