    I do not own one but a few months ago we had a wee get together at the Scottish Rite Club and one of the guys wore his SK just to prove a point. It can be done I guess, not sure that I would do it but here you have it:

    Sorry for the extra post...the edit isn't working for some reason..

    Just wanted to point out that the SportKilt I wear out is the model with the sewn down pleats, not the basic gathered kind.

    The swing is the thing but it's not the only reason I wear whichever kilt, it's my personal choice. Yes the SKs are lighter than pretty much everything else (exceptions: denim "sky" boulder, heather grey boulder, black leather) but after a while, if the wind isn't blowing too briskly it doesn't matter.
    Be comfortable, like the gent pictured above it's all about attitude.
    99% of regular folks won't know the difference between one and another.

    I have both SK and tank kilts, all in proper tartans. I work in a small office, sitting at a desk most of the day. I wear all my kilts at work and rotate them so I don't wear the same one continuously. While at the desk, I prefer the softer feel of the SK over the tank. I haven't worn one out yet, so I can't tell how long any of them will last, but the heavier USAK seems to be constructed better.
