    With the lack of responses I kinda figured it was a one time thing. I guess that I will just iron them out if they don't serve any purpose.

    Wow - that's _weird_. Kind of looks like the person who was doing the pressing didn't notice that the edge of the apron was folded over when the pressing was done. From what your photos look like, this shouldn't be there at all. I'd just steam it out.

    Actually the creases go straight and disappear under the waist band. So they were there before it was sewn.

    WOW yoippari,

    I just looked at you photos. I haven't even HEARD of anyone else having that problem with a SWK. If 'twere me I would contact Jerry directly, maybe email him the pics. At the very least he should know a bout quality control problems.

    Actually I hadn't thought about that. Of course I originally thought they might belong there. I guess I'm off to e-mail SWK.

    I didn't e-mail stillwater til late this afternoon and I got a response in the past couple of hours (good time).

    I told him basicly the same thing I told you guys, posted the pics, and your advise.
    He said
    "That is correct. Looks like a crease was set into the kilt when it was folded up and stored on our shelves. If a bunch of kilts were piled on top, it could set a nice fold into the fabric. Iron it out with a warm iron."

    So, I am going to iron it out with a warm iron. To get a crease like this out (well, two creases) should I use just the setting that says acrylic and low, high, or no steam?
