    Any more Tartan ones?
    I am only doing solid color poly cotton and denim. I like those.

    I'm trying to get out in public and push the "non-Scottish casual kilt" concept.

    I have one Stillwater standard and the fabric is just so lightweight that I'm not happy with it. The fabric is rough also. Anyway, I like to feel like I'm really wearing something.

    Nice that you know what you are doing and have a purpose/mission in mind.

    Myself, I prefer tartan. BUT, I am also a Scottish fanatic, so it fits.

    Too bad about the Stillwater . I like kilts with weight too (a 4 yarder box in 16 oz is just perfect and balanced).

    Maybe, a good "winter"/"cool weather" kilt would be one of Matt Newsome's tweed specials, found at:

    I'm beginning to find that the SWK will get really soft if you wear it enough. Also, in 104 degrees in Chicago last summer, I found that it was really hot ... and that the material is heavier by some degree than a Sport Kilt.

    Just my findings.
