    OH, and by the way. Dry cleaning today is perfectly safe for woolens. They don't use the harsh chemicals that they did in the past.

    I dry clean my kilts and even the leather has come out nice.

    If you do take your kilt to the dry cleaners all you have to do - is have them note on the slip - In big red letters - DO NOT PRESS. Ask them to simply clean it and then just hang it up.
    My pleats stay nice and crisp for over a year of everyday wear and about 6-8 dry cleanings per year.

    If you want to take the wrinkles out be careful with a steamer. A light pass and an overnight hanging will usually let an wrinkles fall out. Concentrated, direct steam that heats the fabric will also take the creases right out. Now you are forced to baste and re-press.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
