"An important thing to remember about army kilts, is that they are made to NATO specification, so will withstand the rigours of combat - or that's the idea."
The last time the kilt was worn in Combat was 25th of May 1940 during the retreat to Dunkirk.
Since, the kilt has been totally ceremonial. Today's MOD kilts are designed and manufactured, not to NATO spec. but to British MOD spec., for parade.
