Packing a kilt for air travel.

First I must apologize for not searching first! However, ROLLING it will be the way. And after looking at those travel bags to put them in, being a Scot and always looking to save a buck or two, those bags look EXACTLY like the ones that our folding camping chairs go into. So...I'll be relieving one of them of the chair for this trip. Thanks so much for the great ideas and helping a newby.

I've had some good luck rolling my kilt and sliding it into a case for a camera tripod. Cheap and easily available from any decent photo store.

Roll the kilt and slip it into a stocking:

Has worked perfectly and no extra weight.

I have always rolled my kilts (pleats on the inside) and they have travelled well. I also take a proper kilt hanger and a hand steamer.
Have a great trip!

Thank you. I am packing the hanger. Don't have a hand steamer anymore however. But hopefully the hotel will have one I can borrow if I need it.

I have travelled with the kilt a few times and found that using a Skyroll shoulder or better rolling carry on, which carried my kilts (up to three of them) laid out in a a garment bag, folded once each longwise due to my particular girth and my kilt lengths. A few wrinkles which came out easily when hung on the hanger overnight or with a few minutes on the hanger in the bathroom while I was taking my daily shower.
I have done the kilt-roll bag thing, as well as the kilt-in-panty-hose trick, as well as using a full fledged full sized hard folding garment bag --- only the latter was as effective as my skyroll rolling carry-on.

I also laid the Robertson Hunting across the bottom of the suitcase inside a pillow slip; it arrived perfectly well. Rolled up in a stocking sounds functional (a kinda exotic) but I'm not sure my wife would be so understanding. Give my regards to Struan.
