A wet kilt and dry sand was not too bad either, as the wool dried the sand just fell off. Salt water and wool was not so good and the trick there was to stand in fresh water wearing the kilt and then hang the kilt to dry naturally from the nearest tree. Failing that, dunk the kilt in cold water in the bath and hang the kilt up in a suitably airy space.

I don't have any personal experience to add, but Jock, I truly appreciate your periodic reminders of how damn durable these things are!! Although I have no intention of abusing a nice kilt, being reminded that they are quite tolerant of serious use, from someone who knows, is always good for me to hear.

"...stand in fresh water wearing the kilt and then hang the kilt to dry naturally from the nearest tree." I LOVE IT!!
