describe the general features of your "ideal" kilt

[The Wizard of BC]

Because I has put quite a bit of time and thought into my designs and have tried almost everything I have found one true secret to a good looking Kilt and one that satisfies the customers ideas of "Ideal".
That secret is "Get the highest quality fabric you can find and afford."

Almost every one of the features listed above has been done or is being done by someone out there. The beauty of this world we call Kilts is that if you can think of it you can find someone who is doing it.

But in the end it will be the quality of the fabric and the time, thought and pride put into the manufacture that will prove itself and last over time.

I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it. The difference in fabric you buy at WalMart for $2.99 and a high quality fabric that costs $10.00 or more is only a couple of cups of coffee.

NEVER, EVER skimp on the fabric!

As someone who tried using that $2.99 fabric, I have to agree (though in my defense, I'd never sewn anything, so it was better than ruining something nice)

As such, for my ideal kilt I would have to talk to the guys at MIT about integrating nanotechnology. Just imagine a kilt with self pressing pleats. Not only stain resistant, but water, fire, and bullet proof. It could detect a strong breeze and stiffen to prevent fly ups. AC for the summers, heating for the winters. And never worry about the right color, pattern or tartan, because it can change colors. If you get bored the apron doubles as a tv.

Makeitshop,

Now you're thinking like an Engineer. I Like It.

So, will the color changing fabric also go clear so that you can answer "The Question" and show them all that you don't really want to know the answer.

And while we're all dreaming here, note that the US Navy is now producing a digital camo fabric in various shades of blue with the Navy anchor insignia scattered around in the pattern.

That being said, my ideal casual contemporary kilt for hikingis in 60/40 poly/cotton digital ripstop camo, reverse-K pleated, with an outer apron 1/2 my waist measurement, a small pocket on the side for my lock-blade Kershaw, and 2" belt loops. Velcro fasteners for comfort under the pack belt.
