I doubt you could make one from a full
8 yards due to thickness, but a 4 yard
one should be possible.
I recently got one of the UK cordouroy kilts. My first thought was that it would be one of my colder day kilts. Instead to my surprise, it is probably the coolest (temp wise) UK I own (except for the spartan). Very comfortable on hot days. I bought it used (it was one of the dark brown prototypes) so it is about a year old now. It is holding up as well as all my UK's.
