My reply must have got eaten by the machine.

You have been getting some odd comments.

First a properly made lightweight kilt will hang and appear as good as any heavy kilt.

For warm weather or hot and sticky events such a party etc they are excellent.

I'd not suggest one as a first kilt-but as a part of a balanced wardrobe-a very useful kilt.

Living in London and being on occasion engaged in giving lectures often in warm buildings-I got one made to measure from Hector Russell about four years ago-and have never regretted the purchase.

Whilst too light for normal hill walking-and certainly a bit frisky in a wind--I have in fact worn it for outdoor activities on hot days, and it proved excellent.

Certainly it is smarter that the 'Gentlemen's Kilts' which are sold for warmer weather here in the UK.

So if you are looking to a sensible addition to a wardrobe which already contains a heavier weight kilt, you should not be put off.

Hasving worn the kilt for 60 odd years-I only wish I'd got a lighter one earlier in my life.
