Ever since I got my Casual last year, my first Tartan kilt, I've been treating it like formalwear. Renn Faire it goes with garb, for concerts it goes with dark tee shirts or polos, I even dressed it up for a Tartan Ball with a vintage Prince Charlie. No one commented on the lack of pleats, I know it's meant to be the jeans of kilts, I still had a great time. For martial arts tournaments or messier festivals, I use my old 5.11 black beater.

Opening my e-mail this morning to a lovely blurb from the company about Highland Game season...and the Casual is listed as durable enough for the Games, tough mudders, hiking...As some one training for a Spartan run for charity currently, I looked over at my Casual with its kilt hanger in my closet next to my tuxedos and I'm wondering if I've been treating this kilt the wrong way entirely. For those who have put this type of kilt through its paces, just what all can I do wearing one without worrying about stitching or permanent damage?
