Very nice budget tartan on ebay..$6.99 a yard!
Item # 370280770214
The seller is marketing this as "flannel" but to me it feels like 13 ounce kilting wool. The selvedge is good, though it does somewhat mess up the twill pattern of the stripes. Because of that it's not "real" kilting fabric. However, I would make a practice traditional kilt out of this stuff in a flash. This stuff may be wool/polyester, I dunno, but it is NICE. I bought four yards and am using it for a Great Kilt for Ren Faire.
It's no tartan that I recognize, but if you wanted a superior fabric at a **very** reasonable price to make that first handmade kilt, this would be a seriously good choice. Sew on this material before you dive into the $70 a yard stuff. I can't believe she's selling it for $6.99 a yard but there you go.
I will probably disassemble the great kilt someday, and will likely turn my four yards into a very nice tartan kilt.
