I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my first UtiliKilt (first non-wool kilt too). I ordered an Olive Original several days ago, and should get it this Tuesday (what a long week!).

I wanted to know what to do about washing it. Is it true that I can treat this thing like a pair of jeans? I did some searching in this forum's archives, but didn't find much. The UtiliKilt website only has this:
11. SHOULD I WASH IT? / Yes, machine wash cold and hang dry.
Hang dry? I hope I don't have to do that. What would happen if I thru it in the drier?

So, what is everyone else's experience with UK's? How do you clean and dry 'em? Any advice and warnings to offer?

thanks,
