My kilts are expensive and because they are wool, must be dry cleaned. These two togather make them formal clothing only.

If the kilt is to be something other than that then they must become more comfortable (fit more like blue jeans), be truly wash&wear (toss in washing machine and toss in dryer), and cost signifigantly less than $500 (more like $50).

The traditional kilt will be part of my formal wear, but I see myself wearing a casual kilt much more often.
