    Just to give a viewpoint from a cloth expert outside the kilt business entirely - I was wearing one of my USAK PV kilts last summer when I was going to my tailor. I'm a government consultant and I need good suits for work. While chatting with the staff, someone asked if wearing a wool kilt wasn't uncomfortable in DC summer 90+ (F) heat and 90+ humidity. Of course I replied it may be, but this kilt wasn't wool. They were quite surprised. "No wool in the mix at all?" One of them exclaimed that the fabric had a lovely "hand" and "I could make a great suit from that". It is quality fabric.
