Pleats on a new wool kilt

[cms1528]

You did such a nice job I think you should press it yourself if you have the means.

Well thanks but I really don't. I should. I have only a very small hot sole non-steam iron. (It's my wife's from her university days. It has a water tank that's only good for spraying out the front unheated.) And I'd have to press it where I basted: on a small, glass-top coffee table, which is really not a good thing to be pressing on.

I pick it up from the cleaners tonight.

Yeah, dude. Basting it is the "difficult" part of the job. Once you baste it, the pressing is -- as my teenagers say -- "dumb easy".

I have the kilt. It came back pressed very nicely, exactly the way I intended it. I have photos I will share later. I'm very glad I basted it myself, however, as the cleaner insisted that I did it wrong because the pleats were all different depths and that she would prefer to remove the stitching and do it herself. :P

Good Lord; you're dealing with an idiot!
