Fabric

[Josh_E]

In your opinion what is the best fabric to use for a kilt that is durable, that get dirty, I can do yard work or anything of that nature and can be washed in a household washing machine. Also where is the best place to get a kilt made out of this fabric that is relatively cheap.

In a tartan I recommend USA Kilts and their Poly-Viscose material.

In solids, Freedom Kilts and cotton twills and camo.

These are all very nice kilts which I would have adifficult time getting to messy in.

To really trash one up, I suggest getting a stillwater economy or a sport kilt. Maybe even a UK off their scratch-n-dent list.

Actually I have a Poly-Viscose Usa kilt but i'm to afriad that if i wash it in a washing machine or do any hard work in it something will happen to it.

Josh,

Don't worry about it, just throw the USAK in the wash (cold) and forget about it. Then take it out, hang it up on 2 hangars and align the pleats to make them come out nice. All done. I was also concerned about throwing my USAK semi-trad in the washer, but not any more. Absolutely easy to take care of.

And you can't hurt the PV material. I have used mine for everything, including as a bottle opener after a funeral service (Rocky, is that normal wear and tear?), and no problems, worries, or wear.

WHAT?! The kilts were DESIGNED to take some abuse. If anything happens to it, let me know. Otherwise, abuse away!
