Hi Hamish,
I must have an early version of a Sport Kilt because the fabric I have is a true woven pattern. I actually like the feel of it better than the 100% acrylic kilt I had.
I don't know if you have yellow dusters in the USA for domestic cleaning, usually furniture polishing, but here in the UK these are made in a very soft, very thin, fluffy sort of material - a couple of rinsings or washings and they become useless for the purpose for which they are sold. The samples from SportKilts were of an identical nature and, to be frank, I would not bother to use one of their 'kilts' even when polishing my furniture!!
Again, I must have one made from different fabric than the new ones. There is a shop near me that sells Sport Kilts and I agree, the ones they had there were very thin material. They must have changed material at some point. Andrew Breecher would be the one to ask, I think he was the orignal purchaser of the kilt I have.
There are inexpensive kilts and inexpensive kilts but...........................
Thanks for your imput, I'm just trying to get an overall feel about this.
