The great thing about wool is its ability to keep warm while soaked through. When I did WWI reenactments I always appreciated the thick wool uniforms whenever it rained - I got wet, but was never cold. The military Cameron kilt (and the Seaforth kilt) also has the added protection of the box pleats which tend to keep the wearer warmer than the knife pleats of the military Black Watch or the Gordon. If I ever get the financial ability to buy me a proper kilt for winter wear I'll probably go for the WPG Cameron or Seaforth. At $300+ I will have to save up my pennies though.
