What did ya do different?
One of my fav kilts to wear was an experiment with cheap cotton but its turned out to be the most comfortable one yet. It needs ironed like every twenty minutes it feels like but I do find it comfortable!
Thanks,

The one im wearing in my profile is one that i made, but its only cotton poly,but it is very comfortable,and one of my favorites to wear around the house or out to any casual outing.

Im on the look now for a bit better material,and i intend to try something i have been thinking of doing.
Im going to try pleating from the very back-and pleat both sides so that the pleats all point to the rear.
I know it goes against the grain on how a kilt is made,and I just hope it won't offend some burly scot or irish man,and they rip it off me.

So when i find the right material and have it finished I will post a pic of it in the photo section.

Matthew Newsome talks about this style of kilt part way through the artical. It's a rare style, but no one can complain that it's wrong.

If you make one though, Tommie, you will have a very rare style of kilt. If I were a kilt maker, I would make one. Wish you luck.

"Great minds..." I believe that pleater specializes in this style. It's also much like the Utilikilt, IIRC.
