    Very high on her list. My only concern with this is that, although it would fit the colour palate in my wardrobe well, it might be a bit too colourful for dressing down. I like the Skye a lot myself.

    [edit] I realise now that you were likely speaking of the retailer which is in consideration, but more specifically I was referring to the Isle of Skye tartan.

    I'm also thinking of an Alt.Kilt, but unsure of their kilt weight and how the cotton hangs. For a roughhouser I don't care if it wrinkles, but if it doesn't fall back into place it would be far less comfortable on my modesty. I see lots of gents wearing these kinds of 'fashion' kilts when I do see them wearing them and although I can rarely detect any swing, they seem comfortable enough in them.
