My idea is that it could be used as a day plaid, but would spend most of its life warming my lovely lass as a blanket of sorts.
    Do the fine folks at B&S sell such things? Has anyone ever ordered the like? Any suggestions? I reckon I should have just called or emailed them directly, but I always like to hear what the Rabble has to say.

    I suspect your kilt is made from House of Edgar fabric, since they are one of the few mills that weaves in the muted color scheme. I'm sure B and S can order the fabric you need. You might want to either fringe or bind the two raw, cut edges. The selvedge edges will take care of themselves! The nice thing is if you buy enough yardage you could always have it made into another kilt or kilt skirt.

    Thanks for the leads, lads. It looks like I have more homework to do...
