Graham, no question the Victory is a good looking kilt, and really LOOKS like a kilt. Rocky has a winner there. The utility kilt concept is great. Tartans are the best, but when you're doing chores you worry about getting them dirty even knowing the fabric might be easy to clean. It's kind of a mental block. The more utilitarian fabrics don't cause that much concern. It's probably all the years of work pants and jeans causing it, but it's always in the back of your mind.
