I was recently at JoAnn Fabrics and noticed they had a material called "brushed plaid". It's 100% cotton and appears to be a very thick and heavy flannel. It's thicker and heavier than the PV material they have at the store, and has a nicer selvedge as well (at least, on one side).

Does anyone who has seen the fabric I'm talking about know how suitable it would be for making a kilt?

By the way, it's on sale right now: $5.59 a yard.
