Stillwater Comments

[cdarwin]

The three things I've noticed about my Stillwater standard, compared to my wool kilt:

• In cold weather, it's not as warm.
• In hot weather, it's not as cool.
• Over time, it has started to look unkempt, and no amount of cleaning, pill-shaving and pressing has made it look as good as my wool kilt.

My next kilt will be wool, or I may try PV, but I will not buy another acrylic kilt again.

Can you elaborate on the "In hot weather, it's not as cool" comment? Considering you live in Central FL, I imagine you have considerable experience in this and it is one of my main concerns. I was under the impression that the acrylic would be better for warm weather.

I've noticed that acrylic does not "breathe" as well as wool, which is probably why it seems warmer than wool in the heat and humidity.
