Jock, for the times when one wants to be kilted but a traditionally crafted wool kilt would not be appropriate for fear of being soiled or damaged they are a fine addition to your kilt wardrobe.
If you would like to see one
live, you can visit and come with me to the park and play with my dogs in the mud and grass, or lend me a hand on a Saturday as I complete my "Honey Do" List.
I might even spot a dram to discuss the issue after.
Aha, therein lies the folly of your thinking!
We keep an old, much repaired and dearly loved tartan kilt for those scruffy occasions! Besides, I am told that the mud and worse in Flanders during WW1 was pretty testing too for kilts, but with a bit of drying and a lot of brushing most wool, tartan kilts would pass muster for a parade in front of The Commander in Chief, The King.
