    There's not much that beats a good cigar, great care to be taken while smoking kilted.

    Scotcop, ssshhhh, you sound like my wife.

    In a related threadjack, what would be the best way to get tobacco odor out of a wool kilt?

    You sure it's pure wool? I've had mine get camp fire embers fall on them with no problems. It sounds to me like your kiltmaker sold you a bad product. I could be totally wrong here, but all of my wool garments seem to be completely inflamable, which is why I wear them camping. And why all of my camp blankets are wool.

    All I know is all I know. The kilt in question is a B &S casual. It says 100% wool, but it is a lighter 13 Oz. the hole is actually about the size of a pencil eraser.

    As to wool being inflamable, I had old style army blankets that were 100% wool that did get burn holes in them if the ember was on it for more than just an instant.

    Having the kilt cleaned, will take some pictures then off to the reweaver.ith:
