I as well really like the idea of a tweed kilt. I also agree with Ham's advice to procure a swatch first since tweeds can vary considerably. I suspect that the Kiltstore tweed kilts are made from a fabric softer than what might be used for a jacket, but best to have a look-see to make sure.

I would not relish having a kilt made from the same herringbone tweed used in the jacket I picked up from Kinloch Anderson, or from my charcoal tweed kilt jacket. Very durable, yes. Very scratchy as well!!

On the other hand, I was considering a tweed jacket in brown from Geoffrey/TFCK and requested a sample. It is a very different tweed than that used in either of my tweed jackets. In fact, I didn't much care for it at all for a jacket; just my personal preference, but I am partial to herrinbone tweeds and this was somehow reminiscent of felt. However, I thought it could make a fine kilt in terms of its feel.

So, there are differences in tweeds. I wouldn't want to have to wear a silk slip with a kilt- even if it just might feel kinda sexy on my thighs .
