Yes, Rufus, both are wrong! It is actually a dark, greenish-khaki coloured fine corduroy fabric, that has been hand treated with a commercial bleaching agent to produce a wonderful random pattern in a slightly lighter shading. When I first saw Howie wearing it, I took it to be suede.
It is actually quite a heavy kilt and is supremely comfortable with a good pleat swing. Added to which, of course, it is totally unique. I love it!
