Okay as a chap that has never worn, yet alone owned, a pair of jeans I may not be of much help. But in kilt terms, those of us that have worn kilts for many a year and have also inherited a few along the way use the old and tatty ones for gardening and save the slightly newer and less tatty ones for smarter occasions.

Alright, alright,alright if you are new to kilt wearing and have not inherited a few kilts that option is not available. But my point is this, a kilt made from wool is not as delicate as people imagine, people have fought wars in wool kilts, up to their necks in muck and bullets and goodness knows what else and when hostilities have ceased most kilts have been smartened up pretty well.

Are modern wool kilts any different? Well, maybe a tad lighter in weight, but that is all. I have every confidence that a wool kilt will stand up to far more abuse than many of you imagine.
