    My thoughts on kilts:
    My first kilt was made in Scotland by Jeffrey Tailor and it is an excellent garment
    with good weight and swing. It fits like a glove and I enjoy wearing it a lot. I also have a kilt from SW and it too is a good kilt. I doesn't fit as well as my tank but it has it's purpose. I also have made a few kilts from canvas. These kilts, like my tank, fit like a glove because they were made using my measurements. They don't have the swing of the tank but then they are not wool. They do have a purpose though. Have you ever tried wearing an 8 yd. kilt in the summer in Georgia? Summer temps can be in the 90s and above. Especially in August. It is also very humid here in the summer. The canvas kilts will be a lot more comfortable in that kind of weather. A 4 yd kilt would probably be allright also. It's like the old saying: If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck then it's a duck. If a garment has two front aprons and is pleated in the rear then it's a kilt. In my opinion a kilt also doesn't have to be made from a tartan material. Would I wear my canvas kilt to a wedding? NO. But I will wear it to do yard work and knock around in. Just my opinion.

    You meant Geoffrey Tailor, did you?
