Need suggestions for belted plaid
Greetings friends,
Long version
Having jumped into the world of kilting and being kilted I started off by choosing the belted plaid to wear in all of its elegance and charm... and unnecessary complexity. The problem I'm having is being unsure how to store such a massive piece of fabric (6 meters of double width). It came to me folded down the middle lengthwise and then in sections like one might fold a towel or something. But I've noticed after having worn it several times and all I'm not entirely sure the best way to store it without adding additional wrinkles and folds. Not to mention, have you ever tried ironing 8.4 square meters of fabric? This prospect isn't thrilling. Although, I'm assuming I could safely iron out the wrinkles if I choose? I noticed in the pictures my clansmen took that there are some pretty obvious hardset wrinkles in the fabric. Doesn't help I drove two hours in a little celica. I realize this garment was worn and used as a utility in antiquity but this is currently one of my most formal outfits in representation of clan who isn't very active in my state. Thanks for any suggestions you can give me! IMG_2990_zps12d95290.jpg
Short version
Can anyone recommend the best way to store a belted plaid's worth of tartan without adding lots of wrinkles and folds? Also, can you confirm it's safe for me to iron out the wrinkles in my 28 square feet worth of tartan wool? Thanks!
