No name I'm afraid. It was just a bolt of fabric that I saw when I was going through the fabric stacks. I just liked the look of it when I saw it. I'm always on the lookout for new fabric to try. I'm trying to build my skills by making kilts out of materials that are less costly. One thing I learned from this kilt is that you don't have to be afraid of lighter weights. This was a very lightweight fabric, but it stiffened up nicely and took on a good weight with just the addition of a liner sewn onto just the inner and outer apron.

I've just finished a black canvas kilt (no pics yet, sorry) that also has a liner of red plaid flannel. This time though I took the liner all the way around. It makes the kilt VERY comfortable to wear. I just didn't like the feel of canvas on my legs.

I agree, the pattern in the picture does look at bit like the Moffat tartan.
