I've admired that tartan for a long time. Yes, the light blue and brown go well together. But then again, that's what I love about the 'weathered' or 'reproduction' colour schemes for many tartans. I've actually considered getting some of this material, not for a kilt, but for recovering upholstery items.

It's a little difficult to tell from the photo, but that looks like it's not a twill weave? Seems like an odd choice.

Me too!

I'm pretty sure that's a plain weave. Shame it isn't twill, I really like it.

I have a couple of mill ends of inexpensive plain weave wool like this. I think I'll use one of them to "upgrade" my renaissance faire great kilt. It looks a lot better than what I'm using now. And the other as "practice" material for a traditional kilt following TAoKM. I don't want to make mistakes with expensive tartan wool on my first kilt.
