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.
