Material
Most of Our Kilts are Acrylic which are synthetic fibers made from a polymer with an average molecular weight of ~100,000. To be called acrylic in the U.S., the polymer must contain at least 85% acrylonite monomer. Fibers are produced in a range of deniers, typically from 1 to 15. End uses include sweaters, hand-knitting yarns, rugs...
Acrylic is lightweight, soft, and warm, with a wool-like feel. It dyes very well and has excellent colorfastness. It is resilient, retains its shape, and resists shrinkage and wrinkles. It is quite varied in form and sometimes has an appearance similar to wool or cotton.
Acrylic has recently been used in clothing as an alternative to cashmere, due to the similar feeling of the materials.
Acrylic is resistant to moths, oils, and chemicals, and is very resistant to deterioration from sunlight exposure.
