Sorry to be a tire kicker here...

I think I'd be leaving the kilts at home. In that environment any garment must be considered sacrificial. The end score in reality... the kilt didn't fair any better than the jeans. I can't see 'practical' in this equation. What's practical about

1. risking having an unplanned weenee roast from heat and corrosive gasses. and 2. the destruction of one relatively expensive UK. the cost of which would buy several pairs of jeans

My guess is that this was done as a stunt or some kind of product test or promotion.

I see a future for the kilt.
I doubt that this kilt has a future beyond a display case somewhere.
