Found this while browsing... Any one heard of pressing a kilt this way?

I would never iron kilt pleats. Wet the kilt down (Use a spray bottle if you don't want to soak it) lay it flat and VERY CAREFULLY arrange each of the pleats so that they lay flat and the pattern is EXACT. When you're sure lay a wet towel over it until the towels and the kilt dry (will take several days) Leave it on the floor on a towel (keep your cat away!) This is the way the pleats are originally put into the kilt and the best way to have the pleats look good. Ironing can change the colours of the wool (if you're not extremely careful).
This wetting it down and laying it out method takes longer and is more persnickity but definitely gives a better finished looking kilt.

I have not heard of this being the way the pleats are originally put into the kilt.
