Very good. Browse around the site and you'll find many opinions about the various fibres, yardage, pleating styles etc. You're in Great Britain, so the original selection (wool) would be extremely comfortable there... as it is (in my opinion) just about anywhere, but the choice is very much your own.
Please do yourself a favour however, and don't get so excited that you buy something cheaper than you might want and then have to start saving from scratch when you realize that you'd like something more traditional.
I'm a firm believer in wool - cool in the summer, warm in the winter even when wet, and full recovery from just about any situation. If you really want to go with something more affordable, consider a "5-yard" traditional or a box-pleated historical kilt. Either one should be a shade cheaper because of the reduced purchase of cloth. Polyviscose is considered by many to be a fire hazard, and other materials tend not to stand up as well.
Again, the choice is yours but the bitter taste of low quality remains long after the sweetness of a cheap deal and speed are forgotten.
