Re: Kilt Storage and Insect Damage
X2 on the cedar. Not just any cedar mind you but what is sold as aromatic cedar aka Eastern Red Cedar Juniper virginiana. Here in the states, particularly the southeast where red cedar is native, all the older households had a chest or wardrobe constructed out of red cedar for storing woolens and quilts. My own mother has a large cedar robe (as us Southerners refer to a wardrobe made of cedar) that was constructed by hand nearly a century ago and it holds quilts just as old or older, all family pieces including the cedar robe.
