Good suggestion. I'll give this a try first before doing any permanent damage. The synthetic fibers in the blend could give some trouble and get shiny on me even with using steam and a damp cloth. Serves me right for not buying 100% wool in the first place. But it was my first kilt. All part of the learning process. In the meantime I'll check the length again. I certainly don't want to look "trollopy" or "tarty" while quaffing my stout.
