I was just musing that some of my kilts might qualify as muted and/or ancient and realised that it is almost 20 years since I joined X marks and I had been making kilts for myself for a little while by then.
There have been kilts which came to sad ends, being ripped, one which was made from fabric heavily weighted, so every wash left it lighter and more faded, one which proved to be printed on the skew, so the pleats twisted and the pattern wandered off sideways - on the whole though kilts have proven a most excellent form of garment, and many have been admired.
