Would this be a suitable kilting material?

Are you looking specifically for non-tartan kilt material? There is a vender on ebay who lists tartan at great prices. I picked up a ton of 18 oz regulation Gordon Tartan (Nobles) and 10 meters of 16 oz MacDonald of Sleat (Lochcarron) for about $30 a meter, including shipping from Scotland and customs fees. That's hard to beat. I paid almost that much per meter for the damaged x-marks tartan I bought from F&K.

And where is this place on ebay? I would really like to know.

Yeah, I was looking for a non-tartan. It could be my perversity (as mentioned in the evolutionary post), but a part of it is some long term planning to try my hand at sewing up a kilt. Reading over Barb's book last night, it just seemed that it would be some bit simpler to start off with a non-patterned material (or as Barb phrased it, "self-colored") for a first kilt.

Oh and I'll echo Arlen's inquiry into that e-bay seller, too!
