Good evening, I'm looking for advice on a yard work/knockabout kilt. I prefer the look and feel of wool, but I'm concerned about the maintenance and cleaning. I have several UTkilts (weathered black watch being my favorite) that would fit the bill, and not break the bank.

The other option is an acrylic material (I've been looking at USAkilts). The problem I'm having is that
1. The cost of acrylic is nearly that of a beater wool kilt (from UT), and I like the one's I already have
2. I don't see a tartan that is appealing (and either universal or clan specific) that I would wear to fit this purpose.

Is wearing a "beater" wool kilt a reasonable idea, or am I just asking for problems?
