I know the furniture dusting cloths that Hamish is describing, and it makes me shudder to think of any garment, especially a kilt, made of this material. And who came up with the idea of a printed tartan? Just doing a disservice to the entire kilt wearing public, if you ask me. The one thing that people need to rmember about the UK's though, is that they make it very clear that they don't want to be pegged into an excluvely celtic constituancy. Though many of us who are of Scot ancestory love the UK's and our tartans, the UK is for all to wear and enjoy. I get the impression that the Sport Kilts are marketed as an alternative to the traditional wool tartans, and that is just a shame. I have heard that they would make a poor excuse for TP.

However, I'm sure the people who make them are very kind, worthwhile, albeit misguided folks. So maybe they can still get their act together.

Mahalo,
