Can this be regarded as a tartan?
It's "almost" imposible to get real tartan here and I'm not ready yet to get some expencive material. So I found 3 different fabrics that look at least as a tartan and selected one of them. It's made in the way the tartan should be (at least what I can say), but has rather small and simple patteren (asymetrichal). Material is 60/40 wool/poly with twill line. The wight is not much (1260g for cloth of 3x1.5m).
Some questuions:
1. can it be used for kilt (and not look bad/wrong)
2. would it be good to treat two patterens as one, while so nerrow, to gain some pleat depth
3. pleating to strip, but on what part of pattern
4. beening so light, could I saw down the pleats (invisibly) down to hem
Thanks for all your help
