Ever had a kilt that you were CONTINUOUSLY ironing or correcting the pleats on? I'll bet it wasn't an authentic traditional 16-ounce wool kilt.

Besides the unmatched ability to sway uniformly and drage like a waterfall, the stuff is just plain rugged. Pleat gets folded while driving? Give it a tug and "voila".
