    If my kilts hang in the dark for so long that I have moth issues, I'm doing something wrong....


    either in wearing them often enough or by keeping bugs out of my house in the first place....

    I roll my kilts when I travel. I first buckle them and place the pleat side up on the bed, then Rollin the direction of the pleats toward the fringed apron. The end result is a fairly tight roll that comes out of the suitcase looking in good shape. I suppose the same method could be used for long term storage, but I would lay a cedar plank on top.

    Steve,
    Actually, moth larvae do eat wool, they just prefer soiled wool because of the increased moisture (they don't drink) and nutrients. Think about it. If something didn't eat animal hair, with the millions of years mammals have been around, we would be up to our whosis in shed hairs.
