I posted some questions reguarding his kilt and hiking for Andrews(Haiku) on
his guest book.
I will post his email here and on the hiking in a
kilt thread.

" The kilt is holding up, though there's a little wear beneath my belt
pouch where it rubs (460 miles of hiking will do that, I suppose). The pleats are
holding up better than I'd have thought, with only a little problem on the
leftmost pleat where the apron attaches to the pleats (Bear sews the apron
directly to the first pleat, which may be how he does four-yard kilts;
on my
traditionally eight-yard wool kilt there's a very deep pleat there from the
apron before the regular pleats begin). As for chaffing, the first problem I
encountered was yesterday, where driving ice and blowing wind caused a little
rubbing rash on the outside of my left leg just at the hem of the kilt.
After a few miles (this was my 33-mile day) I had to keep hitching up the waistband
of the kilt to keep it from rubbing. That's the first time I've had any
problems with rubbing, and only because of the extreme weather. I've had a
little problem when it gets very hot, and I'm "hanging low" and sweating, with
chaffing on my inner thighs. I'm going to try Body Glide, an oil-free lube, to
see if that helps on hot days. Otherwise I'm very happy with the kilt - it's
warm even when wet, the breezes are beautiful, and the girls like
hiking behind
me. =)

I forgot to ask him what type of material his kilt
is made of.
Bear can you shed some light??
