This thread on fire?
A very interesting and educating subject--kilt flammability. I'll remember to avoid any campfires or bonfires whilst in my SWK standard.
I understand the point but respectfully disagree. There IS a place for affordable kilts made of non-wool fabric for those of us who do not have the means or inclination to wear all wool all the time. Yes, those upper end kilts are carefully hand crafted and indeed a work of art. But to say that those are the only "true kilts" is not fair. Many people have been introduced to kilts by trying affordable acrylic kilts and work their way up to an all wool "tank."
No doubt there is an uneducated segment of the public who doesn't understand the difference in quality, only in price. I myself was in that group until discovering XMarks and finally got educated 
There is room for those kilts, but I agree with davedove that they shouldn't be marketed as the same, but rather a good product to explore kilts and wearing them.
