Camouflage wool?

**haukehaien** · 13th September 05, 02:14 PM

I'm about to try my hand at kiltmaking. I've helped my wife with mine, so I've got some idea of the method and so on, but here's the deal: I want a camouflage kilt for my second one, but I'd like to try for fairly traditional styling and so on. What that menas is that I'm looking for wool camouflage material in a kilt weight. Does anyone have any sources for such a thing? If I can't find that I'll try heavy canvas instead, so if you've got a favorite source for that as well it would be much appreciated.

TIA!

Cammo sheep are very,very hard to find.

Be patient,someone has an answer.There are some very talented people here when it comes to kilt making.A cammo wool kilt is something I've been thinking about also.BTW,Have you done a search for kiltmakers?

Yeah, but they're not very smart. You just have to find the ones with the wrong camouflage for the terrain.;)

Check out http://www.filson.com/122TM.HTM Filson has been making wool clothing for over 100 years. They obviously have a source for wool camo because they are making garments out of it. May bee too heavy though.

Didn't get a close look, but could have sworn that a guy at the Flagstaff Games was wearing a camo wool kilt made up in the hand sewn traditional manner.

Filson says they can't - or won't - sell their wool fabric by the yard, curse their oily hides. The search goes on.

I'm sorry, I just can't get the image of camo sheep out of my mind, makes me laugh everytime. It's like that plaid sheep picture posted a while back. Then I think of the different patterns...

Sorry, I know now what you're after and I'm no help at all.
