Tweed kilts? What do you think?

[MNlad]

Rocky at USA Kilts makes a great 5-yard tweed kilt at a reasonable price. Mine is going on 5 years and the pleats are holding up quite well—13 oz. Lachcarron wool and readily available as yard goods. Anne is right, some tweeds can be harsh, but others can be quite comfortable. It's all over the board depending on weight and manufacture.

I searched websites, and agonized for years, but finally bought direct from a weaver, who seemed to have the best prices I could find:

... But, haven't made it into a kilt yet ( "sidelined" with an injury, so can't sew), so I can't comment on how well it will hold a pressing; however, search " tweed kilt" , on this website, will provide numerous previous comments, from those who have tweed kilts, and I seem to recollect, comments on how well they hold a pressing, on the pleats.
