Do kilts have a "break-in" period?

I've heard the terminology and thought I knew what was being described until now.

Thanks Steve for the most informative and detailed deconstruction and reconstruction of a kilt I have seen without actually making it.

Great thread....

Hands down, this was the coolest, most informative thread I have ever read on this or any other forum. Outstanding!

Same for me. I'm kinda sorry it's over.

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.

Please do. It would be great to see the inside and details of different makers

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

Tremendous thread! More of the same would be great if you get chance Steve. It's really fascinating to see Kilts being restored. Oh, and I'd also ask sticky please or a Kilt repairs and rebuilds section? Just so these type of threads are easier to find.

Incidentally. My new Black Watch Weathered just failed the buckle tug test. Me thinks I'd better find me an old bed-sheet.
