fuzzing under the sporran: acrylic kilts
This has been discussed quite a bit in the past, but with a lot of renewed interest in Stillwater kilts, I thought I'd bring it up again.
Acrylic kilts, in my experience, "fuzz" at points of friction. My primary issue is fuzzing under the sporran. My two Stillwaters "fuzz" a lot more than my polyester-viscose USA Kilt. The fuzzing doesn't really damage the kilt, but it does mess with the general appearrance. I use my electric razor to clear it up. My razor has a beard-trimming, snap-out doohickey, which when applied properly to the surface skims off the surface fuzz, leaving a neater-looking fabric. You can also buy sweater de-fuzzers from Target, K-Mart and other budget places that are specifically designed for the job.
I find that I de-fuzz my Stillwaters after every third or fourth day-long wearing.
I'm not knocking Stillwaters at all!! I seriously dig mine. It's just one of the little prices you pay for buying a less expensive, acrylic kilt.
