Thank you Steve,

Your point about sweat and the liner not being removable is well-made. I also didn't know that about silk. I will give it a miss in that case.

I always learn a lot from your (and Barb's) posts. It is amazing how paranoid many (but not all) kiltmakers in Scotland are about sharing knowledge. There is enough demand to go around to share knowledge (and hobbyists like me would not even scratch the surface of that). I think they are like that because we are not in Scotland, hence why I chose to call the small number of kilts I make "Sassenach Kilts" - it's a bit of a wind-up.
