This may be fueled by watching the mass graveyard of war-torn jean's and falling off a bicycle, seeing shredded clothing afterward, paved across the pavement;
but something that alway's worries me about wool is, particularly,
How abrasion resistant is it.

I've commonly heard how an heirloom kilt can last more than a lifetime, and that the biggest enemy of any kilt is, like most fabric's, the washing machine.
But I also notice how cautious a person is after spending a month or more's worth of food on a kilt.

Personally the thought of sitting on like concrete make's me cringe with a kilt on. Unfortunately, when the Black Watch regiment wore kilt's during war, the concrete jungle didn't exist like it does today. I'm just not that perceptive when i'm in the moment (let's just say I don't need a beer to act like the town drunkard), so perhap's it's worth contemplating this through and through before deciding.
So I have my reason's for wonder.

I'm specifically referring to 15-16 oz wool, and I realize there's different qualities. This is a consensus nonetheless.

If any observation's can be made, then I will be able to successfully be able to slap myself in the head if a mistake is about to be made.

And I suppose if this should be ranked; then using a few marker's for the specific's of durability
Washing Machine Resistance (Depend's on blend's)
Abrasion Resistance
Weave Strength (Depend's on maker)
Average lifespan
(Add anything if one wish's)


Perhap's other people may want to chime in as well in the durability, and in which way's the other material's are: hemp, leather, polyviscose, cotton, etcetera.
