A while back, there was a thread where we seriously discussed the pros and cons of a nomex kilt.
I can't seem to locate it now, but the sum was:
Great in idea, BUT Steve (Freedom Kilts), who spent one lifetime in nomex and another making kilts thought: BAD IDEA and would be a REAL pain to actually make (mostly the reason of Bad Idea).

(Sorry to quote you out of context, Steve, but I THINK that would be a good summary.)
