Making my next two kilts

yeah, finding wools is kinda tough around here too, and tartan is impossible.

For solid color wool you might try calling or emailing Fraser & Kirkbright Woolen Mill in B.C., Canada (Gordon on XMarksTheScot), or The Scottish Weaver in South Carolina (the U.S. outlet for F&K products - on the Web). They might be able to help you find what you want. In your location, 22 oz, 16 oz, and even 13 oz might be too heavy. F&K does a lot of fabric in 10.5 oz. Give 'em a try and keep us posted.

I think the 22 oz may be to heavy, but the great thing about wool is that it insulates and breaths better than anything else by far. My 16 and 13 oz kilts are far cooler to wear, even on our hot 90 degree humid summer days, than the much lighter pv kilts I have. The 16 oz acrylic kilt I have is so darn hot i cant hardly wear it. Wool however is great. It traps that cool air right up in there and keep the boys all nice and happy lol


Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll check into those places

Good to hear! The climate here can certainly get like that in the summer!
