I agree with the general direction you are taking here but I think a Scot that dropped into our time from the past would likely still pick a wool kilt. Wool is very practical for the climate of the highlands and Scots, from the past or modern, all recognize a real value when they see one. I expect he might pair a wool kilt up with a polar fleece top and some sturdy boots for tramping through the gorse - but why not ask Arlen any one of the other fine highland Scots that frequent XMarks? If anyone knows it could be one of them.
That would be true for being in the Highlands, but what about America or other places? They don't have the climate which wool would be more suited to, it would have to be of a lighter fabric, right?
