Comparing Wrinkles in Fabrics
I took three kilts with me on the drive up to Colorado last week. Tonight got unpacked enough to make sure I "unwrinkled" them before hanging them up for next use.
Wore a USA Kilts Casual PV kilt all day driving up and knocking around. Then hung it up for four days.
Wore the Lochcarron 10/10.5/11 ounce Riever weight hand sewn kilt the next day for driving, sitting for meals, and knocking about then hung it up for three days.
Wore the Lochcarron 16 ounce Strome the third day for a lot of sitting, driving, and hiking then hung it up for two days.
Wore (gag) jeans on the drive home due to the heavy snowfall and having to cross high mountain passes.
So tonight, I get out my Gizmo to steam out the expected creases and wrinkles.
The PV kilt just had a few hints of past wrinkles on the insides of the pleats. They steamed out easily. The apron wrinkles had already fallen out from hanging for the four days.
The Riever weight Lochcarron had a few hints of past wrinkles too; they easily steamed out.
The 16 ounce Strome had no sign that it had ever been wrinkled, like I'd yet to wear it.
Now, I'm a kilt wrinkler for sure...and I didn't phase the Strome.
So, there's one more argument for buying the best. How much time will you save not having to repeatedly steam or iron out a 16 ounce Strome kilt after wearing it.
You just can't beat quality at a fair price to provide value.
