The wood most commonly used as a moth repellent is not actually a cedar but a juniper. It's scientific name is Juniperus Virginiana or Eastern Red Cedar - Pencil Cedar - Aromatic Cedar.
The two hanger method came about here in my shop. I am hanging up and taking down kilts all day long. I was finding that the 4lb traditional kilts could quite often be found on the floor having fallen off normal hangers.
I have tried just about every type of hanger out there. Some of those sold specifically as kilt hangers are the worse.
Then one day I stumbled on so basic, so simple that it just made too much sense not to try.
Open your kilt all the way.
Fold the kilt in half.
Put one hanger on the aprons - And one hanger on the pleats.
Then fold the kilt in half again.
Now, here is the really great, so simple, so logical part of this whole thing.
You can use almost any hanger to do this.
You can use the wooden pants hangers. You can use plastic clip hangers. You can even get hangers for free at almost any department store.
Each hanger goes over only two layers of the kilt.
The kilt is hung fully supported. The pleats hang straight and The kilt does not fall down.
The worst thing is to hang a kilt by the little loops of fabric you find on some kilts.
These loops are for temporarily hanging you kilt when you take it off in the bathroom.
If you hang a kilt by these loops for long periods this is what happens.
