I've got some dollars burning a hole in my pocket , and I'm interested to know, from those with varied kilt kollections, what they consider to be the most comfortable kilt, and why.

I want, of course, my new kilt to look sharp, but am putting comfort ahead of look for this next purchase. It doesn't have to be a economical kilt, and can be a custom hand sewn.

Though many have a 8 yard, hand sewn, 16oz, "tank" as optimal for appearance, I doubt that it's top of the list for comfort. What wins for comfort?

Does PV win over wool? Does 4 yard win over 8 yard? Is lightweight always more comfortable that heavyweight? Does above the knee win over below the knee? Box pleats over knife pleats? Traditional vs modern?

What other characteristics are important? Cutting the pleats below the waist band to remove bulk, of course -- suggesting a custom traditional kilt. Other?

Personal appearance often feeds into 'mental comfort'. I never find a sporran physically comfortable, but often feel more mentally comfortable wearing one. Likewise when the thermometer climbs, it's physically more comfortable to drop the hose, but I mentally feel more comfortable with them.

What kilt makes you comfortable?
