is it ever to hot to wear a kilt especially the heavy

[neloon]

other than the norm.

Angie,
Don't really know what the "norm" is! Polyester swimming/beach shorts are very popular in Scotland particularly in pipe bands - very cool in hot weather.

Thank u Tobus for your help as well, just wanted to make sure, I like the Kilt, to me its no different then wearing a skirt, but the kilt I like much more and much history behind the Kilt.. I would wear biker shorts over my under garments anyways with wool or the blended fabric kilt ..Thank you again, Deeply appreciate your help.. Will def look into other fabric too

Hi Alan, I meant underwear (panties) the shorts go over the underwear.. but we have something like that here too, instead of wearing a slip a woman could wear those type of shorts that r made to look tight but are not instead of a slip.. polyester blend, with cotton spandex materiel.. that is a thought too .. thank u.. Whether it was wool or other blend fabric I would wear the short type thing over my under garments.. Thank you Alan

Thank u ctbuchanan from Olde New England for your advice as well. I have had alot of advice and I appreciate it. Will def look into the sport kilt fabric . I def don't want to hurt the wool (kilt). we get hot here, humidity is the worse lol.. but luckily I'm like a snake ( as my mom says). The heat has a low effect on me.. But now my kilt order has gone from 7 wool tartans plus 4 sport kilts.. I'm cool with that.. thank u Again

Check out this thread (posts 47, 48, and 49). Yes, that is me in the pictures, and as stated it was 110F the day they were taken. I'm wearing a 5 yard box pleat kilt in 16oz wool tartan. Let me tell you, it is much cooler than my 8 yard, 16oz, knife pleated kilt in temperatures like that.

I own a Casual Kilt from USAK which is Marton Mills 12oz PV (just shy of 5 yards). It does get warm in 100* F weather (but so are shorts).

I also have a 16oz Wool kilt (5 yards).

Both are knife-pleated.

Weight of the fabric, the properties of the material, pleating style, and the yardage used seem to be the deciding factors.

Some weather is entirely too hot for a kilt...any kilt. It gets over 100* F here during the height of summer.
Some weather is too cold for a kilt as well. Last night it was 29* F in my neck of the woods. Tonight it may give us a light dusting of snow (fingers crossed).

Just my tuppence.

As for USA Kilts quality, customer service, and prices you will be hard-pressed to find a better kilt for the money here in the US. I wholly endorse Rocky and his products. You won't find a better kilt for the money unless you go fully-bespoke (which I'm sure Rocky will eventually add to his inventory, seeing as he's started offering box-pleated kilts recently).

The kilt wasn't really designed for US weather! Y'all should come and live where the temperature usually ranges from about -10C(14F) in winter to 26C(79F) or so in summer.
