How do Scots handle a rough day/night with only one kilt?

[Jock Scot]

Oh, so you all do go hunting in your kilts, Jock? Somehow, I got the wrong impression, and thought that was rarely done.

Ted for us, Hunting is done with a pack of hounds and usually,not always , mounted on a horse. Shooting(your hunting) we don't normally wear the kilt, but early in the grouse shooting season in August,the weather can be quite warm, so the kilt is sometimes worn to advantage.You are quite correct though, it is not the norm.

[Malcolm MacWilliam]

As an 18th century military reenactor, our kilts go through a lot of &*%$ I have had mud, gunpowder residue, soup (one of my lads spilled soup on me one evening!!), etc. on my kilts....these are NOT my Newsome kilt or the box pleats that my wife has made, they are for dress. But, as others have said, let the dirt or whatever dry, brush and then I handwash. No problems!
