Hello all,

I would like to buy myself a kilt for my birthday in February. I currently live in San Angelo, Texas and there are not many, if any, kilt wearers that I know of. I've been doing some research but would like some advise from those here.

The weather here is hot in the summer (high 90s to low 100s). Winters are fairly mild, there will be days below freezing, but they are few. Average winter temps are usually low 40s to low 50s. Spring and Autumn are really "all over the board". As I write this the temp. is 72 with highs predicted in the lower 80s this coming week.

I'm not sure I want a heavy wool kilt. I would like something that I could wear every day if I so choose. I'm also debating between the Fraser Red and the Fraser Hunting tartan. I had always wanted the Red, but living in the desert southwest the last few years, I'm starting to lean toward the more muted hunting.

Cost is also something that I need to consider. I would like something relative inexpensive, but not "cheap".

Thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks,

Kent
