Help Choosing X-Kilt Fabric?

[sydnie7]

The Joann tartans and the "Target" range of solids (linked by Nik) are two different fabrics. Similar in weight but the Target seems to have a bit more body, just IMHO and from memory of buying both. The Target is a good starting point for your first XKilt, once your feet are wet you will be looking at all sorts of fabric and thinking, hmmmmm, would that work?

Welcome to the addiction!

Look for the Hemp / recycled polyester twill. I know it's polyester, but it's at least recycled and attempts to be somewhat eco-friendly. I made a kilt out of this stuff and while it's not cheap, it is without a doubt the nicest stuff I have ever used to make a contemporary kilt out of.

That's the "natural" color...

Charcoal, very dark, almost black. I made my kilt out of this...

It's also available in "indigo"...think, "blue jeans" and an olive drab.
