I'm in the process of making my first kilt out if duck-cloth and I'm worried about this.

Duck cloth..? Looks like the stuff Carhart uses for their coats. Am I right? I would actually like something like that, if I could manage it... tough as nails, it is.

Yup, that's the stuff. It is really tough and, so far, seems to hold crease really well. I just hope it doesn't wrinkle. I am putting in the stablizer now, so I'm in the home stretch. I'll post pictures when it's all done.

Sounds awesome. Where can you get material like that? I'm thinking Hobby Lobby or *shudders* Wal-Mart.
