    SWK Standard Saffron Question

    I'm considering getting an SWK Irish saffron standard kilt. I already have the Irish national standard, and I love it so much that I wear it very regularly. I want to get the Irish saffron, but if I wore it regularly would I end up staining it quickly? I know that an actual tartan hides stains well, but since it is a solid color, I'm afraid that I would ruin the saffron kilt. Does anyone know if it the saffron kilt is stain resistant enough to wear on a regular basis without staining it? Otherwise, I might get the blackwatch tartan.

    Stain? Well, my SWK saffron (heavyweight) is one of my most worn and it looks just as good as the day I got it. Beer has been spilled, but it all dries up. No worried!

    I've had a saffron for a little over a year and it has passed muster at BBQs, St. Patty's Day and a myriad of other potentially spilly occasions. Going with the standard, it can be machine washed. Don't hesitate.....................order yours today!!

    Jerry is working on a new shipping method whereby the kilt appears beside you as soon as you finish paying for it online.

    Just don't spill anything on it or you could wrap it in plastic, the stuff will be sure to just sliiiiide off.
