Never having made a kilt, but thinking about it, I would be interested if anyone could explain the differences between the kilt materials available from the Scottish mills, Lochcarron, Dalgliesh, Marton, House of Edgar, Strathmore and how these differences impact on the kilt manufacture. I'm not asking about different tartans or sett sizes, but about the characteristic stiffness or softness of the basic wools used. If I've missed a mill, please add it in. I appreciate price is also a factor but wear-ability is more important.
