I can tell you guys, That one of the things I learned quite quickly about Highland Garb, is Its well worth Buying a Kinda Small Steamer device, Less a steam Iron as a Heated quart of Water, Hang the Kilt as you would wear it , Steam the inner Apron and Inside the pleats, as it hangs (from the inside 1st) and then do the inner part of the outside apron..... refill and then steam the outside if it even needs to be touched up outside.... a) the steam freshens the wool quite simply b) it also deals with infestation somewhat, and If you get in the habit of touching it up regularly you have less of a job fixing the pleats.. (even less if you don't wear it sitting in the car for 6 hours etc...)..
I'll tell you that this works best on Heaviest Kilts (of course) better and thin Kilts and other option kilt materials will be a problem But, If you hang it and steam it right away .... every time, maybe even spray starch inside out carefully.... Not sure...
