Kilt Comfort
I now have several kilts as well as sarongs and such. The whole thing about skirt wearing was for the comfort. Now I have to say that in general the kilt satisfies my comfort criteria, but there is one area where I have issues. Its the material that some kilts are made of.
Most of my wool kilts, particularly the lighter weight ones, have a soft feel to them. The sort of softness you get with a scarf/muffler or a woolen blanket . On the other hand my 13oz and 16 oz kilts seem to have the texture of furry cardboard i.e. they have a hard feel to them and are quite scratchy. (or even Itchy & Scratchy! ) I'm even considering a slip to prevent my legs contacting the wool, or even going for an acrylic or poly/viscose kilt 
Have I just picked some particulary difficult materials or is this something that others have come across? Has anyone any advice on dealing with scratchy tartan?
