Storing Kilts

[MacMillans son]

Well Brus, I use the same method as you only I don't put the hanger through the belt loops. If you do, I would suggest that you clamp the hanger before it tops out on the loops to avoid the weight of the kilt being supported by the loops. I purchased my hangers from Stillwater Kilts.

Father Bill, I believe it is Steve who advocates using the plastic slack hangers. I think it is more a question of economics than of any preferred hanging dynamics, though I am confident it works just fine.

When traveling locally, I use the same kilt hangers that I do at home, and hang them on the hooks in the car and just like my jackets. For longer travel, I fold them aprons out and lay them in the top of my suitcase. I also always bring a travel steamer when going out of town.

And that's that!

I use Steve's method now. I used to use an improvised method of folding the kilt into thirds and using three hangers but found that the kilt would still sag because the gap between the hanger clips was too wide. This two hanger method seems to work fine for all of my kilts, even the extra heavy ones.

I also use the two hanger method. Works like a dream... I keep them in a suit bag also -- with cedar inserts as a deterrent to the occasional moth.

You're absolutely right! Apologies, gentlemen!
