    Save your money till you can afford a well constructed made to measure kilt offered by the many fine kiltmakers that advertise here.
    A made to measure kilt will fit like a glove. It will be a part of you and you won't notice the weight of the kilt till you take it off.
    Once you wear a kilt with a bit of weight to it, experience the swish you won't go back to a light weight...totally different class of kilt.
    Thanks for being honest. Pretty sure I am a man. I am debating between a polyviscose and a wool. Wool and heat do not sound like a good combination.

    Actually wool is the better choice as it breathes. If it gets wet it still keeps you warm. The excellent swish factor will move the air around your legs to keep you cool. It holds the pleat better. easy to clean as well. Drop it in a bathtub of cool water, gently agitate, towel dry then lay flat. A bit of steam or ironing and you're good to go again. Tanks are great. They can take a beating and look good and will last you a long time. When averaged out the tank will be cheaper in the long run for the years of service it will provide.
