Another GREAT reason to wear a tank, huh? As if we needed any more! :grin: :grin: :grin:

Maybe I have not been paying attention, but it does not seem, to me, that kilts catching fire is much of a problem.

Do you work in a kitchen? Spend time out of doors? Smoke? Go to Burning Man events? Concerts?

Is there a point in there, somewhere? If there is a documented case of a kilt going up in flames without the help of an English army, I've not heard of it.

You?

I think Dread's point is: Better safe than sorry.

That's probably the point. If you know you're going to be wearing your kilt around open flames or even sparks, it's best to think about this beforehand.
