Hamish, so far I now have 2 kilts. One light blue denim and one dark blue cotton/poly blend. The first tartan is on order. I think I've got a good start and it'll be reasonably economical for me since I can make them myself. Not a big fan of cord though. When I was a kid my mother loaded me up on cord pants. I can still hear the legs rubbing together with that zzzttttt sound The comfort of the kilt is certainly addicting though and, surprisingly for a small conservative town in the American midwest, the reaction has been fairly minimal and what there has been has been fairly positive. Like I said, I'm about ready to send the pants to Goodwill and wear kilts all the time.
