Cost of fabric for an X-kilt...?
Hi all... I've been toying with the idea of making one of those x-kilts that seem to be so popular with the forum rabble. So, hunting for appropriate fabric to complete the project yielded this:
Navy blue cotton twill
110cm x 6m
Wt. 240g/m
Cost for the bolt: $11.
From the X-kilt instructions, it seems that I have the appropriate quantity and weight of cloth. As for the price... That's the main purpose of my post -- is $11 for the above fabric acceptable? Inexpensive? Average? I'm really curious because in my corner of the world, prices are completely turned on their heads and it's really hard to know what similar products will cost elsewhere.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Jim
P.S. Apologies to the American rabble... I live in a metric country, so I don't know yards and ounces... But from what conversion info I could glean, I've got about 6.56 yards x 1.2 yards, at a weight of 7.74 oz/yard... That's IF the figure of 240g/m is indeed 240g/m and not 240g/m2. Apparently, from what I've been reading, both are sometimes used. Japan is weird enough that they may not use standard (SI) gsm weight measurement.
