I will second MoR on cleaning up the wool kilt. The TANK is just that, if not for the horizontal spread a few years ago, I would still be wearing the kilt handed down to me from my grandfather. The kilt does not resemble exactly the kilt of today as it was worn first at a wedding in 1838. I have a painting of the bride and groom in full kit. This garment stood me well for my sister's and various cousins weddings, as well as my own. My nephew is now wearing it. Keep the spot cleaning up and it will do very well. I had mud splashed up on it by a passing motorcar. Let it dry. Brushed it off, vacuumed the kilt. Good as new.
For scheduled rough activities I have a polyviscose kilt. Basically wash and wear. This is what I wear while playing with the toothpick in the Highland Games.
