What's the proper iron setting

[BluesDoxieGa]

for touching up the pleats on a PV casual kilt?

[PaulX608]

My PV kilt is a different brand, but my tag says low heat on the iron. I think that's pretty standard advice for acrylics.

Thanks Paul, I will stick with the lowest setting and press on!

You only need to steam the pleats. Get a Gizmo or similar hand steamer, you'll love it for your USA Kilts PVs.

If you absolutely insist on trying to iron the kilt don't use the ironing board, follow Ham's advice and do it on the floor

2 little notes...

1. STEAM the HECK out of it. Make sure your iron is set to a steam setting and go to town. Also, the iron should be on a MED setting. NOT the highest setting (you'll burn the material and make it "shiny") and not the lowest (steam won't come out and you'll end up standing there trying to get the creases out with a luke warm iron).

2. If you have carpet, do NOT IRON on the floor... if the iron gets too hot, you can (depending on what kind of carpet and the kind of synthetic/real fibers it has) MELT the carpet and mess up your kilt! That goes for BOTH Wool and PV Kilts.

Here's a couple suggestions on ironing kilts. If you must use the floor, don't do it on carpet, find a hard floor, or other big flat surface, (I use the dining table at home) and then fold a bed sheet so you have 2 or 3 layers of material to kind of pad and protect the surface, and keep the kilt clean. Then iron away!
