    Just read your post for fabric. I get remnants from Frasier & Kirkbright. I know Gordon Kirkbright from numerous phone conversations. I have a great kilt from 13 oz wool blend in Douglas pattern. All a great kilt is; is 4 - 5 yards of double width fabric. Call me and I can give you better information as web sites that show how to lay it out wrap it and belt it. I've bought a lot of fabric from Gordon most in 16 oz wool and have alway been pleased sometimes you can find it as low as $15 or $20 a yard. http://www.wooltartan.com/tartans5.htm then to REMNANTS. You coming to Ligioner Saturday? There will be a number of great kilts there and you can see and ask first hand the wearers for pointers. My phone 717-432-2393 and I will give you some web sites that will show you layout and options.

    Does $22 shipping sound normal?

    That seems about right. Gordon packages your order in shipping paper wrapped in protective plastic. I've never ordered less than 8 or 10 yards double width fabric and it had a rigid card board center around which the fabric was wrapped.

    Sorry you were not able to make it to Ligonier.
