So kilt sellers should ALL consider giving their customers a choice in a very lightweight fabric.

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.
