One of the things that has always struck me is that the Scots of old (my ancestors VERY much included) they were practical people. In fact MOST people everywhere are practical both past and present. The kilts, both Great and Little were made of 100% wool. WHY, cotton don't grow in Scotland. Sheep do. Therefore kilts=wool...amazing as to how that works. If cotton had been in abundance in Scotland then Kilts and fabric in general would be cotton based. If PolyVicous material was around then you would find kilts made of this material also. WHY...Scots were a practical people. I have the 'tradational' kilts, cotton kilts, poly-vicous kilts and wool/synthetic kilts. I keep the wool for 'special occassions'. WHY, have you tried to find a good cleaners that knows how to correctly press a kilt in my neighborhood?

I wear a kilt 99% of the time that is not 'tradational' because I am a practical man. I know that if I spill something it's into the washer and hang dry! I can then go back and press it myself and back into the closet. Moths...no problem either! Camo even. Why, I like it.

I enjoy the post here because it gives a wide range of latatude. When I do 'wear tradationally' I do want to wear correctly. If I have a question, I ask or file information back in the 'I have to remember this" file. However, when I go out on in a Camo I do so and enjoy it.

I hate to see anyone depart but life is full of choices.
