storing a plaid

[creagdhubh]

I fold my plaids, which are all 4 yard day/blanket plaids, a couple of times (lengthwise) then put them on a wooden (I only use wooden hangers -they are strong and durable, not to mention they look good!) pant hanger and hang them in my wardrobe. I also hang each plaid, and all of my woolen items such as jackets and kilts, in a breathable garment cover made of natural materials - not those cheap plastic varieties. I do the same thing with my wife's tartan sashes. This method has never produced wrinkles of any sort on the fabric and is an organised way to store the plaids.

Hmmm...I recall a photo (see below - look directly behind the Duke's kilt in the Balmoral tartan) of the late Duke of Windsor's wardrobe with his day/blanket plaid in the smart, Balmoral tartan, hanging in the same fashion.



Cheers,
