All this talk of "cedar chests"! Where on earth do you find them? Is it an "American" thing? I have never seen them for sale, or even advertised, here in the United Kingdom. My Grandmother used to have a family chest at the foot of her bed, in which treasured fabrics were stored but that, as I recall, was made of Oak. I wonder what happened to it!
I have hung my kilts, for as long as I can remember, on the wooden bar clamp-style hangers with absolutely no ill effects. The trouble is that they are now not so easily found and, with an ever increasing Kollection, .......!
I roll my kilts only when transporting them in suitcases.
One thing I will NOT do is to hang any kilt from the two loops provided by traditional kiltmakers, which was what I was advised to do when I first had my own kilt back in 1950. These just allow the waistband to sag horrendously with the result that the pleats twist out of shape as they hang below it.
