Good Morning,
Thank you all for your input. With M.A.C. Newsome's blessing, I've dispatched the kilt to Bonnie Heather Greene for re-pressing. Incorporating everyone's considered opinion, I feel the best thing I can do is try to return the article close to what Matthew originally created. Then, with all that I've learned through this discussion, proceed to wear normally but introduce periodic maintenance of the Robertson Red. As I've got three Newsome's in the queue, my frequency of going kilted won't deminish. Only instances of donning a particular tartan will. That, in and of itself, should allow each kilt to retain their aspects.

Thanks again, to everyone whom contributed.
