Check out USAKilts and the feedback from those on the forum that have one, or several.
KCW, from all that I have heard over the past few years, the weight of the fabric is a factor when using wool. A 10 oz wool will crease and wringle quite a bit more than a 16 oz. Poly/viscose is lightweight and does is very low maintenance, but let's remember it is not wool so it will behave differently. Weight can be a factor depending on the fabric.
Morgan, welcome to the forum. I actually just sold a bolt of MacKenzie Morgan wool http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=23477 that could have suited your needs. MacKay or MacKenzie tartans may also be an option for you for their connection to Morgan.
If you are looking for a lightweight kilt that can still look good, skip the sportkilt and email MacHummell at www.canadiancasualkilts.com (I just picked on up for my son and it's awesome.) or Rocky at www.usakilts.com
Either of those guys will suit you up in a great looking kilt that will take a beating.
