The material is wool and we wear it as a belted plaid of course. You could puchase two, sew them together and have a great kilt. I have a wee kilt for the 42nd and am working on my great kilt to be worn for the 77th. The 42nd is the one with the red stripe added to the standard black watch or government sett. The 77th does not have the red stripe.

If I remember correctly, the material came with instructions also.
