You don't say where you are in the World...but I'm in Northern Arizona where it seldom gets ovey 108 F and I can wear a 16 ounce wool kilt in the summer with no problem. No wearing kilt hose with it gets way too hot...so the lighter weight kilts are better.
I am 100% sold on investing in quality. Many kiltmakers - Robert at RKilts and Kathy Lare at Kathy's Kilts come to mind - will accept partial payment. So you can order up with about half down which the kiltmaker uses to bring in the cloth while you're waiting your turn. When its your turn the cloth has arrived and they ask for the balance when ready to ship or nearly ready to ship. Makes it a lot easier for me anyway. Your mileage may vary.
And of course I'm not speaking for any kiltmaker - double check - but do ask if you can make two payments if you need to do that.
