The Most Comfortable Kilt

[unixken]

That kilt sounds really interesting with the combination of solid colour outside and tartan pleats. Do you have a picture of it?

If you scroll down on this page, you'll see an example of a Buchanan "Team Kilt"...

For me it's been Elkommando Kilt, Sport Kilt Hiking, Sport Kilt specialty fabrics, especially tropical prints (not currently available), and AmeriKilt cotton. Only. Anything else is too heavy.
For most of us in the middle to lower USA these humid and warm to hot half-years are not going away anytime soon. IMHO.
So kilt sellers should ALL consider giving their customers a choice in a very lightweight fabric.

Yep, I’ve been lounging around the house in a Sportkilt since 1996. It was my entry way into kilt wearing. Initially, I used them after a bike ride to get out of my sweaty bike shorts when I headed to the pub with my fellow cyclists.

Marton Mills PV is 11 ounce, cool, washable and holds pleats very well. I recently finished an 11 oz. wool 6.5 yard kilt in clan tartan specifically for the purpose of wear to Highland Games. It is quite comfortable even on hot, humid days.
Most kilt vendors DO offer lightweight options.

But what about the elastic waistband?

Sorry. Not on my radar. A well-made, correctly-sized kilt doesn't need elastic to be comfortable, in my experience and opinion.

I'll shut up and trot back off to my traditional forum now.
