dry clean ? dip in woolite and drip dry or lay it out flat/ air out

[CameronCat]

I may be truly blessed, but here's my story. I live perhaps 20 min or so from Rocky's store in SE Penna. I occasionally bump into him or his staff members at local events. I once asked one of his shop staff about where to dry clean my USA kilt. He recommended a place in our nearby town that I was already patronizing for normal items.

"They know about kilts?" I asked. "Yep, and even how to iron the pleats!" he replied. "When we had the store there, we used them all the time."

I have recently picked up my kilt from that establishment, and it is done to perfection with crisply and correctly ironed pleats, etc. Total cost was, I think $10.95. Yes, it was marked "skirt" on the claim check. The nice lady at the counter complimented "how pretty" the kilt is (Cameron Erracht tartan) and said it was a bit of a chore to do each pleat with the iron.

I also had my Harris tweed jacket cleaned at the same time (recovering from a nasty ice cream incident at a local fund-raiser) and it too is as-new. I couldn't be happier with these folks cleaning any wool product I own.

Even valuing my time at minimum wage, I doubt I could have washed and ironed the kilt at home for $11, and certainly not the jacket.
