Welcome to the forum, Mark! When I saw there was a new member named "Blacksmith" I checked out your website, you do great work! I especially like the chess table/wine rack and the cart forge.
The others have already suggested the only traditional style kilts that fit the bill that I can think of. I think the Stillwater Heavyweights might be your best bet.
Cheers,
Nick

Welcome Blacksmith,
Probably would break the bank, but would be solid value, take a look at RKilts leather kilts. Think he customizes them too, did for Graham anyway.
I have one too, but am not a blacksmith...seems even better protection from sparks than fabric...
There are pics in my gallery, just click on the RKilts album on page 1, a lot more on the website...www.rkilts.com

Welcome to Xmarks. Like the others, I spent a lot of time checking out your webpage. Now, you have me interested in something else. Only one criticism though. We need at least one pic of you in your kilt. But, perhaps that will come when you find one that you can wear at your forge. I'd agree with others that canvas would be better though. Even a Stillwater heavyweight(though it is inexpensive) looks too nice to chance burning holes in it.

I'd seriously consider a Leather R Kilt or a Froodom Kilt if you like the solid look.

WELCOME!
It is amazing that many here have a lot of the same interests and talents, I guess it is the Kilt thing.
Glad that you are here.
