Help! What type of fabric is good for hot weather?

A lot of the fellows here will disagree with me. But, I think an 11 oz. worsted wool tartan suits a warm weather climate. I have a 5 yarder made from Henderson (ancient shade) and even in this desert (Southeastern New Mexico) which is notorious for the wind, I manage to keep "the mystery."

And, as some of the others mentioned, Poly Viscose is GREAT. I have three casual models from USA Kilts, and adore them.

It was 98 F / 36 C in Tucson today at the Zoo. I wore my 16 oz Buchanan 8 yd wool and only started to get hot in direct sunlight when not moving. Otherwise it was downright comfortable. People wearing jeans were sweltering. I also recommend PV or PV blends in 5 yd kilts when the temperature tops 100. O'Neille
