Tartan of the Month - Jun 12: What do you see?

[figheadair]

Are you implying that a plain weave is used for household and general use? Would it be used for a great kilt as opposed to a pleated and sewn kilt? Or perhaps it was a table or bed cover or perhaps a lady's gown? Maybe, even....curtains?

I was indeed implying something of that sort. So, what's the difference, apart from the obvious, between twill and plain weave i.e. why is one used more often?
