Most Peculiar Fabric Successfully Made into a Kilt?

I saw an older gentleman, just this week, waiting at a bus stop in S.F. wearing a royal blue corduroy kilt. It was made traditionally with the three buckles and looked to be an 8 yard kilt. It looked very heavy and very hot however.

Rocky, that one scares me. A lot of the old and not so old drapes had fiber glass in them for strength and sun resistance.
