Winter kilt choices?

[John M.]

Ok, I'm tired of checking back with SWK to find that they still have no wool kilts in my size.

Can anyone tell me what the best alternitives would be for a traditional looking kilt that might keep me warm as the temp. drops into the teens or less.
What choices are out there that are not too much more expensive & can be obtained in a reasonable time frame? ??:

I just finished a Kilt yesterday, that I added a zip- out wool blend liner.... we dipped down to 2Deg. C, as I left work early this morning....as I stood around chatting with the other folks.....(we had a cold wind factor yesterday) they repeatedly asked "are you cold?" as their shivering...I'm in my lastest creation and no shivers whatso ever....I even had one of them ask if the could touch my leg , and to thier surprise....heat.. ..lol.....SO Im giving my zipout linig a big thumbs up for passing the fist our our many cold days/nihgt here.

Pittsburgh kilts are warm and traditional looking, though I don't know if they're traditional enough for what you're looking for. Mine's great in the winter, it's a heavy cotton.

Titanium, welcome to the board! How did you construct the lining and attach it?

I like that Cameron tartan too. It's a real eye catcher from behind.
Now can you tell me what the diference is between box and knife pleating is?
The Cameron is box pleated & I'm not sure I've seen that before. Thus the dumb question.
