Other fabric choices are not quite as good as wool, but they are offered as a means to provide a less expensive garment. So, while they are "secondary" to wool, this does not make them "bad" per se. My Ford Taurus might be secondary to your Mustang, but it doesn't make it a bad car. :-) That's my point.
I have to disagree on the above point.
Let's take the activity for today. I will board a plane and fly across the country. For this purpose the kilt I have chosen is a synthetic, man-made fabric kilt. This fabric has been proven, time and again to be superior to wool. It holds up to stains better, hold a crease better, and is a better travel kilt! It is not secondary - it's BETTER!
As to your Ford Taurus, gee it's too bad that you can't drive a real car! They are called Chevy's!
