    Here in Atlanta where it has been HOT and humid for so long, the comfort factor is especially important. The northwest might need heavy pockets, all manner of accessories, and heavy studs and brads, but at 100F plus I want SIMPLE, something like hiking or cargo shorts, but with a very light weight, breatheable material, and maybe mid knee length at the most, no attachments, no hooks, no chains, no sporran, but with the panel and simple pleats so that it doesn't look like an A line or straight skirt. Trying to describe this here, something distictly kilt, but shorter, simpler, and definitely fitting low on the waist and several loops for a standard dress belt. Ever seen such a pattern?

    FWIW, for Fall, I have ordered the fabric to begin a couple X-quilts! I even snagged a good Singer complete with Cherry table with drawers and plenty of surface space for local pickup here at 17.00! Now, how to fit this thing around my all too prolific dunlop and posterior!

    One factor of comfort is fit, and nothing fits like a kilt that is made to your measurements. Some of the off the rack kilts, while certainly economical, might not fit as well.

    What you are describing is a USAK Casual kilt.
