I seem to be more willing to spend a little less and get a few more kilts for daily wear than wait for a year and get the Graham tank I want. Plus, I would be terrified of ruining it somehow as my wife says I am kind of hard on clothes in general. I know that I will get the Graham Semi-traditional from USAkilts eventually for more formal family gatherings. Maybe I'm just a little excited about the deal and am getting impatient.
I believe some weavers treat thir wool with chemicals as to reduce the worries of staining. Some better aquainted with fabric providers might correct me on this.
