    The sweater will look good with any kilt. I have a Stillwater Nightstalker, not a heavy weight, but it keeps me warm on cold winter days. I would have no problem suggesting the SWK, wither the standard or the heavy weight. What ever you choose, have fun.

    let me get this straight...

    you curl...in a kilt...and are asking which sweater is acceptable?

    Wear what you want, but I'm sure that sweater is perfectly acceptable. Can you show a pic?

    I prefer my balmoral when curling. My head looks funny in a Glengarry. Go for the sweater for sure. And for what it's worth check out the Polyviscose kilts from http://www.canadiancasualkilts.com/ or www.usakilts.com they may not be as worn as the wool, but the machine washablility will be a big benefit for getting the chemicals from the ice out.

    I wore a kilt to a "funspiel" awhile ago. A lot of fun to curl in the kilt. I wouldn't recommend it for first time curlers though.

    The glengarry is definately a must, I have to agree. With a potomac curling club pin on it no less.

    those newbes to curling get so cold. I can't understand how. Of course I'm one to talk. The club's only been here for four years, all of which I've been there. Started when I was in sixth grade I think. Only got the kilt last year.

    Having grown up in central Canada, I was surrounded by curling rocks and hockey sticks. Hey, you have to do something with 7 months of winter
    I actually used to live beside Arnold Asham of Asham's curling supplies for years and years and was friends with his kids. Every year Arnie would build and ice rink in his back yard for curling/hockey/skating. My grandmother also played religiously. Yet I didn't even really try curling until 2 years ago. Great sport and a really fun time. The kilt is great fun to play in, but wear a knee pad if you are still learning and have a tendency to slide on your knee out of the hack.
