Absolutely! And while we're on it, if the handle of your Sgian Dubh isn't actual bog oak, it has no place on a man's leg. I'm glad to see someone else objects to seeing kilts made of "PV and the like." And what's with all this sewing nonsense? If it isn't made of scottish wool, coated with fat and "kilted up" with a great belt, then it's just a costume brought out for the lowlanders for King George's visit.

I apologize for the sarcasm, and I honestly mean no disrespect. I've heard resentment against the "non-traditional" kilts, but this is the first I've heard prejudice based on the choice of material.
Given what conditions were like for a Highland clansman, I tend to believe that he'd have worn a polartec lined, gore-tex kilt if it had been available at the time.
