I'm considering the Plain Black Faille fabric on F & K's remnant list as a first attempt at a kilt. Price is right. Can anyone give me more information about what is meant by "faille". Would this be suitable cloth for a kilt? Ideally it would turn out so good I could wear it to a formal occasion but it will probably be worn as a hiking kilt. Pro's and Con's?
