Do kilts have a "break-in" period?

[crash]

Crash, If you want further pictorial threads like this I have an entire shop full of older Regimental kilts that are in for repair.
Some are labelled as made in Scotland by some of the most respected names of the '60's and 70's.

Some of these kilts are litarally falling apart but the Regiment wants them fixed.

Steve, if you want to start another thread I would really like to read it. It's an interesting subject and the discoveries enlightening.
