I'm still contemplating my first kilt, and one option is 16oz wool, traditional. How does wool fair in wet weather? Avoid it like the plague?

Not that we see too much rain in Tucson, but we do get heavy rain seasons. Then of course there's that blazing sun....?

And cleaning? I've heard spot cleaning for outside soiling or dry cleaning. Some by hand in their own bath....? How do kilts hold up with these? Frequency? Alternate methods?

Thanks.
