Kilt lining interfacing and lining.

[Barb T]

I wouldn't consider using anything but woven interfacing (the nonwoven stuff doesn't shape very well with steam, so I'd skip the Pellon). The Accro woven interfacing on this page has nothing about weight or composition. Tailoring canvas varies enormously in weight, and just because it says tailoring canvas doesn't mean that it's suitable for a kilt. I'd pick a site that at least tells you what's in the stuff and what the weight is. I'd aim for something that says "heavy weight".

Broadcloth is on the thin side for good kilt lining - feels flimsy and is pretty see-through. I'd aim for a good 100% cotton quilting fabric that's a bit on the heavier side. Twill sateen is also good and is more substantial yet.

I wanted to bump this up for the newer "kilt makers."

It is one Very interesting thread on the issue of structural cavas in wool kilts.
