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.
