    I hardly think so but if you wish to adopt such an extreme and adversarial position, so be it.

    I do believe this is pretty much what I said. I am not sure there is sufficient bandwidth for you to show so many examples but, in any case, my purpose was to highlight the particular damage here which I have clearly illustrated.

    Exactly. You have succinctly summarised my point - so why the adversarial tone?

    Looks like the kilt version of torn jeans - start a trend.

    Only fear of that would be the location of the problem may cause some legal issues... Don't want anyone getting in trouble for Actual indecent exposure, we get enough allegations of that without holes (and WITH undergarments that would make it impossible)

    Those pictures are honestly terrifying. I can't imagine if that happened to my kilt. I truly would be devestated.
