Here comes the newbie again.

I have only been wearing them for a month and am still learning as I go. I like the hang and swing of the casual kilt (in light wool), love the philbeg (p-v) and just came back from an evening out in my brand new traditional. No comparison at all, the traditional (medium wool) is a whole different thing. Wears different, feels different and has a lot more backfield motion. This really became clear as I walked across a parking lot with the lights behind me, I could 'see' the swing by watching my shadow.

With the climate here in coastal NC I don't see me wearing anything much heavier and certianly not the 22 oz kilt I came across a while back...perhaps if I move to the great white north.
