Ooooh... That's not good.

Too low to be covered with a sporran.

It might suit someone into the punk or Goth thing.

A sad day indeed!

Imagine if you were wearing it and it caught fire.....
Sorry for your loss,

however I'm sure you will be making a kiltmaker happy when you choose to replace it

Sad to see the death of a kilt, especially a young one. Just shows how inflammable these acrylic kilts are. Better remember not to wear mine again when I go flying. Wore it on Friday instead of an expensive wool kilt because old aeroplanes dribble oil everywhere and I didn't want to dirty a good kilt.

Sad Sad News, just be thankful it was not one of your wool ones--can you claim on the insurance, tell them it was wool, not that I would do something like that.
