As this was the first kilt I bought I really did not know the difference when I bought it. I knew I could not get wool. I bought the kilt off e-bay for a very good price. I bought the kilt before I found this forum. I bought it for price only and got lucky that the quality was good also. If I had it to do again I would have picked a different tartan but not a different kilt.

You guys who've bought cheap acrylic kilts from dealers who source in Asia (usually Pakistan), take great care that you don't let a naked flame anywhere near them - they go up in flames extremely quickly and drip molten acrylic everywhere. If you're buying them for youngsters - DON'T!
The authorities back here in Scotland are looking at the problem as a matter of urgency but whatever the outcome, it won't stop them being sold outside Scotland so if you're offered a cheap kilt - ask where it came from, what it's made of and IS IT FLAMMABLE.
