Auld Reekie tartan and they tell me that it is coated with teflon
I've got a 6 yard pinstripe 21stC, and that to me is the bentley of kilts, it is superbly durable in any adverse environs.
However my humble all terrain cammo kilt will gladly step up and out perform any trousers in adverse conditions. It never gets so wet I can feel it, the pleats stay in, it's cool in hot weather, and I've even washed it in the machine against all advice, and it's turned out fine.
It's withstood a scuffle in Edinburgh, a garden renovation in Heanor and Alfreton and even a cattle trampling in Wheatcroft.
I think my message is this 'wear your kilt' it'll survive, probably better than you, and you'll survive better because of it.
