A Gentalman in my church showed me quite a unique way to store a kilt.
He told me that while he was in England with the Canadian Milatary prepairing to storm Juno beach, he was billeted out to stay with a local familly. Well as it turns out the lady of the house got tired of watching him iron his kilt daily. So she showed him how she stored her husbands kilts.
She would close them as if they were on you, then fold them pleats out. (sometimes she said she would roll them). Then she would slip a twine noose or loop around them, at the waist area, and making a loop on the other end hang them bye a nail in the back of the closset.
John told me after that, he stored it that way, and was happy to only have to iron once a month or so. To this day that kilt is hung in his closset in the same style, and the pleats are perfect. Since he told me of this method, the boys and, I have stored our kilts this way.It's great ;-) rarely do I have to iron. Well thats my 2 cents worth, spend it or through them in the wishing well, it's up to you. :mrgreen:
