There went that idea.

Sorry dude, wool is the material of choice for kilts, or Poly/Rayon.

I disagree. Hemp and leather also make for excellent kilts, and I am betting bamboo fabric will make for an awesome tropical weather kilt.

And I have made kilts from 100% cotton bull denim and mediumweight cotton duck. Steve over at Freedom Kilts makes kilts out of polycot and 100% cotton every day. Yes, if given my choice of material, I will take PV any day. But as far as wool goes, I choose not to have much wool around the house as my wife is very allergic to wool. (She borrowed my beret once without realizing it was wool until she had a rash across her forehead. I was torn between laughing at her for not realizing it was wool and feeling sorry for her.) I am certain I will have several wool kilts eventually, as it is the only economical way to get certain tartans, but for the majority of my kilts I will be going with alternative materials.
