    oioi. i've had to change out of my SW several times because my legs were sweating so bad.

    i know it's not wool, but it's quite cozy nonetheless. and cozy is something i don't really need at 2 in the afternoon in september.

    I'm going for something cooler for my next kilt.

    I have a number of kilts that are made out of a lighter wool material, and they're no more "insulating" than anything else out there. In fact, I find that they breathe well, don't blow-up in a breeze, and handwash in no time. I wear them under the lights, and never feel like a burger at McDonald's. There ARE more than one or two weights and weaves in wool.

    I think we would all love to have a great wool kilt in our kollections. I know I would. But as has been discussed in other threads the weight and heat of a tank is not typically practical in Georgia. I think I will get more use out of a PV kilt for daily wear.

    BUT.... If there were a wool kilt available in a wide selection of tartans pleated to stripe for $150.... I'd be all over it!!

    The correct answer of course, is both.

    If you buy both, you are still spending less than what an actual "tank" would cost.

    Alright, back to jkdesq's question. Where can we find this "formal wool" kilt for $150. Just point me in the right direction and I'll be all over it.
