    As promised here is some information on the kilt I bought from allscottish. It is light fabric. It was advertised as 100% wool, 13oz. I did a little burn test and when exposed to flame the threads ignite and burn with little bubbling balls on the end. Extinguished they can be squeezed flat. Does not smell like burning hair. A comparable burn of wool did not ignite and burn and did not make little hot balls. It was shipped with the pleats tacked together. I ironed it on wool setting using a press cloth and it looks pretty good. For the price I am satisfied. This assures that my tailor-made all-wool will last longer.
