Cost of fabric for an X-kilt...?

[Aldisimo]

Does anyone know what weight of fabric UK uses for their standard?

Utilikilts® describes the fabrics that they use for most models on their site.

Here's something that happened at JoAnn's today [but is certainly not unique to that chain of stores].

I went in for some other supplies and decided to get a piece of PV for a future project since it's 30% off. They had one that's similar to the Maple Leaf (same colors, different pattern) so I had them measure off seven yards, which they did very quickly. There was only one yard left, so I said I'd take that, too, then told them I preferred to take it home on the bolt instead of folded.

As I was wrapping it around the bolt and could look at it more closely, I came across one snag after another, all over the fabric. At one point there was even a small hole. They offered it to me at a greater discount, but for a kilt there would be no way to avoid all those flaws as you might with a garment that has several pieces.

Moral: Check that fabric (both top and underside) for problems before they cut it!
