Scotch guard

I'd be loathe to put scotch guard on my kilt (tradional short) but there's heaps of alternatives about. I'd be inclined to approach a reputable travel outfitters and get some insight as to what works and what doesn't. when i say travel outfitters i mean hiking shops etc. Found this product just then having a qick browse for you:

don't know anything about it although it seems alright. or should i say seams...

Scotchgard is routinely used on wool upholstry fabric and wool carpet. I don't see where it would be a problem used on a kilt.

Not to knock Ozmeath's suggestion but I would be a bit concerned with using something that permeates both sides of the garment like this wash in one.... woudl have some strong chemicals next to some pretty vital areas.
With Scotch Guard - or a similar spray on treatment -you can direct the surfaces to which the treatment is applied & keep them away from the parts of the garment in close contact with sensitve skin...

I have used a simular product on wind breakers and they work good but that seems rather expensive and I am with UAO about the product next to the vital parts.
