The company I work for manufacturers fire barrier products which incorporate a ceramic cloth.

The feel of this material is very satiny so I think the swish factor would be awesome. The material weighs a ton though. I can't imagine an 8 yard kilt in this material. A 4 or 5 yard kilt might be do-able. The other issue is comes in a white-ish silver color. I need to find out if it comes in black.

Can you imagine a flame retardent kilt. Might be somehting for the blacksmiths in the crowd
