65 Wool 35 Poly Pleating?

I know that I have a couple of suits in material that's that blend and I've found them to be good wearin' and they stay looking neat even after being packed in a bag for more time than I would like.

I'm just curious about how heavy the material is. The pants of the suits that I mentioned have no problems with the creases holding but the material isn't as heavy as I would expect kilt material to be...did you luck out and find a heavier weight?

It is said to be 13 ounce, "same weight as a 13 ounce wool." I would guess that is heavier than most pants' wool. Would that be characterized as medium to heavy weight?

Have you got a good source?
I'm having a hard time finding relatively inexpensive fabric in any tartan.

Personally, If I were you, I would jump all over it if the price was right.

The great kilt I've had for years is a 65/25 blend. Once pleated up, it holds together incredibly well, with nice sharp pleats. I would think that it would make a fine dress kilt material.
