    Oh I concur with the quality but this is for lounging around. A concern with cotton kilts are that they are easily wrinkled, I do not know if acrylic will stand up much better though. Another option could be R kilts and their hemp kilts. It is one that I am considering for a knock around kilt, unfortunately $300cdn is a hard pill to swallow but are made to last, and last, and last...

    If there is anything tougher out there than a hemp RKilt, I'd like to see it.

    I have fallen madly and deeply in love with my hemp kilt. It is... It is just perfect. The price should not be a concern. You will fall apart long before your kilt ever will.

    Strapping on the hemp kilt feels like buckling on a suit of armor... It is stiff and heavy. Strong. Secure. You feel sheltered. Snug. Safe. It does crazy things for your confidence, like a bottle of mezcal. The solid heft and weight hanging off of your hips adds a little swagger to your walk.

    And it drives the wimmins wild.
