Easy to care for and they rarely need ironing.
The pleats move the air around just like a regular kilt.
As for cheap...no...it's comparable to the cost of a 8yd 16 oz kilt. It will last a long long time

then I stand corrected...last time I wore anything leather I thought I was in a furnace of hell...then again, it was very hot out anyway.
