    In addition, fabric-wise, it sounds like the kind of thing you want might actually be a fairly heavyweight tweed.

    Re: need help w/ "rough" kilt

    Too bad price is a factor because the kilt you need is a leather RKilt cargo model. That's a true working kilt. It'll last forever so the VALUE is there.

    Since Robert custom sews them the woman part shouldn't be a problem, just would size it the way you want.

    Re: need help w/ "rough" kilt

    I have to say a few words for wool here. I feel we’re not giving it the credit it deserves.
    Wool has the most absorbent fibers of all fabrics.
    Wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight without feeling heavy or damp.
    Wool resists wrinkles.
    Wool is durable.
    Wool is naturally flame-retardant.
    Wool regulates body temperature.
    Wool is hypoallergenic – it resists bacteria, mold and mildew.
    Wool is antistatic so it doesn’t attract dirt and dust.
    Wool is easy to clean.
    Spot clean with white vinegar and rinse with cool water.
    Hit it with a garment brush if necessary.
    Wash it by hand with a gentle detergent.
    Never hot water.
    Wash gently.
    Avoid agitation.
    Rinse it in water as close to the same temperature as the wash water
    Never wring it.
    Lay it flat to dry.
    Wool has been worn long before PV, Acryllic, and dry cleaning were invented.
    Science has tried but, so far, has not succeeded in producing a fiber with all of the qualities of the natural wool fiber.
    It’s not silk. IT’S WOOL!!!

    Also look at BuiltKilts for a knock about kilt. My own knock about kilt is a PV kilt I made and use on the horse farm
