Agreed EB. I have one in Scottish National tartan that is my go to for any kind of rugged duty where I wouldn't want to risk damaging a wool kilt. I would especially recommend them as a starter kilt as they are of a material that is much more analogous of 13 oz wool vs. a low yardage kilt in a lighter weight material, and they have the typical strap and buckle closures found on wool kilts. I bought mine from buyakilt about 3 years ago and have not regretted it for a minute.
