Heavy weight, 5 yard vs Medium weight, 8 yard

[Angstrom]

For a truly lightweight kilt, there's the option of polyviscose fabric. See this current thread: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...fabrics-91532/

I have a couple of the casual kilts from USA Kilts that I wear when I know I'm going to be sweating. They can be machine-washed with no ill effects, and look much nicer than cheap acrylic.

I think heavyweight wool looks and feels better, but the PV kilts fill their role well.
