Most comfortable kilt? At any price.

[Ayin McFye]

I think you post a good question, but i believe it's a very "what works for you" kind of question.

I live in Arizona where it's very hot. For me I like the 4 yard knife pleat lightweight polyviscose kilts. They breath really well plus it's not a lot of weight to carry around. I've never owned a box pleated kilt so I can't comment on that, but they look nice.

someone in Canada or in a much colder environment might enjoy a 8 Yard Heavyweight wool kilt more than I would.

Again I think you post a good question. I curious to see what others will say are their favorite kilts. Cheers!

Some may debate whether it is a true kilt or not (honestly, I am not so sure) but you can't beat the UK Spartan for comfort.

It is like wearing naked.

Sportkilt is probably a close second, and everything else after that.

I think Ayin's right - It's what works for you. What works for me depends on what I'm going to be doing. If I'm going to be sitting a lot (say for a Burns Supper, theater etc.) I really like my four yard box pleated kilt. It's very comfortable to sit on. If I'm driving or flying I like cotton (Utilikilts) or PV. Not itchy. I love the swing of my 8 yard tank but I wear it to cocktail parties or dancing where I don't have to sit on all those pleats too much.

Nothing else considered, my absolute most comfortable kilt is an old sport kilt that I lounge around the house in.

You bring up another good point. It definitely matters on what you plan to be doing. If I'm going to a formal event, like a wedding, then it's all the bells and whistles time, regardless of comfort. If i'm going to the bar for a pint after work, then a $50 kick around the house kilt will do fine. My new favorite is the one I just got yesterday. I own 4 kilts now, none of them cost more that $100, and the SWK Thrifty kilt i bought for $25 bucks yesterday is great.

I still plan to buy 3 or 4 more cheap kilts, before I purchase a 8yrd tank. But I'm hoping by Christmas i'll be able to spoil myself.

I don't have a vast kollection but the best fitting, most comfortablest kilt I own is the dress model FK. Due to Steve's measuring instructions it fits as good as my favorite jeans
( what? two-legging it am I??? yes, deal with it - at least I don't wear baggy shorts or trendy pants)

CT - never met a kilt I didn't like
