David,

If you now have a heavy eight yard wool kilt, why not try a light poly viscose kilt from, for example, USA Kilts (www.usakilts.com). I believe that their casual kilts are made from about four yards of fabric. The price is right, Rocky says delivery in 5-6 weeks, and by all accounts the customer service is unmatched. Or a step up from that would be the semi-traditional, also in PV material. Both are custom made.
