When the Spartan was first mentioned here, I thought the material was going to be like the shorts at this link:

I have a pair of the this type of shorts that have lasted for probably close to 15 years and are still in great shape. I think the weight of the material would be awesome for a kilt and the material moves and drapes great. A bonus to this is it could be reversable if you can coordinate the stitching color.

You can buy the shorts at walmart so I'm toying with the idea of buying two XXXL sets and trying to sow them together for pleating. Any thoughts?
