Thanks, guys, for all of the kind comments!

It may strike some of you as crazy, but I do NOT intend to baby this kilt - hanging it in the closet for special affairs. I believe John has made it tough as nails - like an old Army kilt, as he says! - and I plan on utilizing it as my outdoor hiking, camping, hanging-out-by-the-fire kilt. It'll acquire honorable stains and dings over time, but that's what I wanted a tough, durable 'tank' for - to USE the damn thing, like the soldiers and clansmen of old.

Such a kilt is up to the task...!
