Help! What type of fabric is good for hot weather?

PV is great. It is washable and very easy to take care off. I have a 3 year old PV kilt and it still looks and feel great. I don't pamper that kilt at all. The price is right as well.

A 13 oz worsted wool (NOT SAXONY/FUZZY!!!!!) is actually an ideal kilt for summer.

Some WILL NOT believe me, but even a 16 oz one that is about 4 or 5 yards of material (like one of Matt's box pleats) is GREAT in summer. A 5 yard WORSTED "modern"/"casual" one should work great too.

By the nature of worsting wool, it makes it breath well in summer to stay cool (MUCH cooler than jeans, which breath HORRIBLE) in summer and warm in winter (also much better than jeans).

Dreadbelly could explain the whole reason why, if you want him to.

Other than worsted wool, I'd say PV or a cotton blend, though I don't own or haven't worn one in summer myself (I have some PV material to make a couple box pleats out of, but havn't started either yet).

I still like my CCK 8yrd PV's all year around. I love wool and poly wool blends but for all around fun in the sun and warm enough for winter too I still prefer to wear PV.
