I must agree with you there - my oldest kilt was tailored for me in 1973. It was my only kilt for 26 years and, during that time, went through some pretty rough treatment. That kilt (Gunn, Ancient Colours, by Alex Scott of Aberdeen) is as good today as it was in 1973 - strangely, it still fits well (!), and it looks and behaves like it was made last year. Naturally, I have cared for it - but it's not been kept in cotton wool and acid-free tissue paper!!

It's a little short so I only wear it around the house.
