    Go for it. I'm always up for trying something new and you'll never know unless you do it. I have two pairs of UnderArmour shorts. That material would be wicked comfortable to make a kilt out of... I think it's a combo of polyester and elastane

    I personally think you should go for it. I wear strange things out in public but I wouldn't wear a fleece kilt when out in town. With the hard-to-crease fleece (hey, that sort of rhymed. ), it might end up resembling a woman's skirt more than a man's kilt. But it sounds super-comfortable for just lounging-around in the house.

    If I were to were a fleece kilt, I'm certain my fat kitty would sleep in my lap all the time.

    Plus, it's washable and if it gets ruined, it's a fleece kilt. Who cares if it's screwed up? You could just make another one.

    I decided it was probably better to just but a stillwater casual. But the more I think about it I am a huge DIY kind of guy. I have now decided to do a box pleated fleece kilt. I will start a thread with my drawings and ideas of design and make it a WIP thread. First I have to finish a pyrography that I am doing that has gone WAYYYYYY past the due date. Keep an eye out all who are curious.
