AS for cleaning Buzz Kidder canvas kilts, I've never done it myself, but I have asked Buzz about it, and this is what he says.

He has thrown his kilts in the washer with no ill effect whatsoever, and he used to tell his cusomters that this was ok to do.

Then he had one guy return a kilt to him that had somehow gotten all splotchy (like someone spilled bleach on it). According to the customer, all he did was wash it like Buzz said, and it was ruined. So Buzz had to replace the kilt.

After that incident, Buzz has been telling his cusomters to dry clean their kilts, if they need it, just to be safe.

Again, this is what Buzz told me once... I haven't tried cleaning any canvas kilt myself with any method.
