Kilt This! makes kilts out of soft fleece. You can see examples on thier website or their Etsy shop.

I have never seen on of them in person, though. I have a duck cloth utility kilt from them that is excellent.
Good luck!

Had a SportKilt made out of flannel back when. Was like wearing flannel pajamas - that soft feel. Perfect for hiking commando though.

I made one out of cotton flannel once. The fabric was WAY too light weight and wouldnt hold a crease for nothin! After wearing it for a couple of hours, it looked like a wadded up mess. Was comfortable though.

I would recommend using something else, unless you just wanted the practice.

Try using the flannel that quilters use. I back most of my quilts with this flannel and it's never given me a problem with washing, shrinking, piling.

The fabric one obtains from fabric shops is usually too thin.
