I have some 100% cotton twill I want to make a kilt from, 16oz. 48" goods brushed on the face, the nap run the length of the fabric rather then the width.

Personaly I feel a kilt made with the nap running horizontal would look odd. It seems to me cutting panels and sewing them together so the nap runs top to bottom with the pleats rather then across them would look better.

Also I have enough experiance to know to make travel marks on the back of the cloth as its cut so the panels get sewn together facing the same way.

I'm intersted in your thoughs, ideas, input and advice.
