Packing kilt accessories
So I have traveled with a kilt before, and I'm well aware of kilt rolling and all that. What I am wondering about is packing something like a tweed kilt jacket and vest/waistcoat. I've heard of compression cubes where the air is let out of the cube so your clothes are as flat as possible. That seems like a good plan, but I worry about wrinkles. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? Do you have any specific products to recommend?
The reason that I am asking is that I have a looong trip coming up and I want to wear a kilt and ideally the jacket. I am spending two weeks in Ireland, nine days in England, and a bit over two weeks in Scotland. I will be going to the Braemar Gathering and would ideally wear the full TCHD; kilt, tweed, etc. Since my personal sherpa is out sick
, I don't want to lug around bulky items for only one day. I know I don't have to wear a jacket, but I would like to if at all possible.
Also, there are lots of threads about wearing a kilt in Scotland, but what has been the reaction to people in Ireland or England wearing a kilt? Does anyone have any recommendations for a shoe that is comfortable to wear when walking for a couple of hours and is relatively TCHD?
