    For hot weather, I tend to my USAK American Heritage Semi-trad., or my House of Edgar 5 yard casual 16 oz. Both wear very well in the heat of summer here.

    Here in southern California today it was in the lower 70's. I wore my brand new 8 yard 13 oz. wool Anderson Modern today for the first time. I prefer warmer weather to cooler, but I think mid 70's or so is going to be about the limit for outdoor wear with this kilt.

    I bought this because I wanted a "real" kilt to wear to the Highland Games the end of June instead of my Anderson Sportkilt, but if it's normal June weather the weekend for the games it may get a bit toasty.

    I was out and about on Monday in my 5 yd. USAK Semi-Trad in the U.S. Navy tartan in honor of all of my comrades who are "still on patrol" and I think there are going to have to be a couple more of the semi-trads in the closet for warm weather.

    I have 9 yards of X Marks tartan waiting for ChattenCat to turn into a kilt, I wonder if I could get two 4.5 yard kilts, one pleated to the yellow stripe and the other to the sett?
