What's better... a p-v casual for $125 or a wool formal for $150

[Raphael]

This topic is for Brother Jimmy.

It is a tough call. The tailor made PV will probably fit better than a mass produced wool .

OK! OK! I'll bite!


Put me down for a wool!

Indeed! In an ideal world, wool would be the only fabric from which a kilt would be made.

My the way, from where can I get a wool kilt for $150? Please let me know.

..and every morning, the ideal wool kilt would be magically cleaned and pressed and hanging in the closet waiting for us :grin: .

Bryan...just one of the finer points in my ideal world...

Raphael... you sneak.

What was once a purely hypothetical question has now come to light.

I, myself, am partial to wool casuals that are sewn with hidden stitching and ride on the hip... but that wasn't an option.

I will say, however, that there's nothing more comfortable and strong as a nicely woven and soft wool.

Gotta dissagree. While I love wool, not really practical when wood working, HEAVY gardning or in 90+degree 90% humidity.

oioi. i've had to change out of my SW several times because my legs were sweating so bad.

i know it's not wool, but it's quite cozy nonetheless. and cozy is something i don't really need at 2 in the afternoon in september.

I'm going for something cooler for my next kilt.

I have a number of kilts that are made out of a lighter wool material, and they're no more "insulating" than anything else out there. In fact, I find that they breathe well, don't blow-up in a breeze, and handwash in no time. I wear them under the lights, and never feel like a burger at McDonald's. There ARE more than one or two weights and weaves in wool.

I think we would all love to have a great wool kilt in our kollections. I know I would. But as has been discussed in other threads the weight and heat of a tank is not typically practical in Georgia. I think I will get more use out of a PV kilt for daily wear.

BUT.... If there were a wool kilt available in a wide selection of tartans pleated to stripe for $150.... I'd be all over it!!

The correct answer of course, is both.

If you buy both, you are still spending less than what an actual "tank" would cost.
