Wrinkled kilts

[Richland]

This worked well. Thanks.
I am putting together a purpose built item to acomplish this. It will consist of a fabric sling with wooden dowels on each side with handles. similar to what you might have seen to carry a bundle of logs for your fireplace. I will provide a connector for the handles to make it easier to get in the car etc. If it works I will provide more information. Might even make it out of a tartan material
As for the motorcycle problem cant help you. Someone from the above advertisers should look into designing a kilt with a Dennison Smock style flap. (British Para design WWII)

When ever im sitting in a vehicle for along period of time i try and get into the vehicel already facing the front and sweeping my hands under neath me while i sit so that the pleats don't get bunched up and depleat themsleves. 8)

[Richland]

Yes of course I've been doing that from the start. Having seen women do it when in skirts for a life time. Still one pesky pleat gets snarled as a result of natural shifting and movement...
I will march forward with my kilt sling idea...
Thanks

i didn't read all the posts before i posted mine so didn't realize that you had developed your own method. 8)

I think about the wrinkles in my kilt as much
as the wrinkles in anything else i wear -
not at all. I never iron anything. Today's
wrinkles will be replace by tomorrow's.
I don't polish my shoes either. I'm a regular
guy. I don't care too much about fashion and
being pretty, just comfortable.

I come from a military background. I hate leaving the house with out a good shine on my shoes, and a good pressing on my shirts.
My roomate is the exact oposite. never shines shoes etc. when we go out and chat up the lasses. He is as sucessful as I "Sometimes more...darn it" . Do the clothes make the man? Sometimes. As far as wives, and girlfriends I believe it is disrespectful to a female companion to not at least make an effort to look your best. She makes the effort, so should I. When I look my best, it makes me feel better.
If that is not your thing fine. But wrinkles and dis-shevled looks make me crindge.....Unless that is the look you are going for....LOL

Manners maketh man - but his wife does the washing and ironing.

I expect your room mate would be slightly disconcerted if he could hear what the chatee is thinking as he chats. I suspect something on the lines of 'he really needs looking after - that shirt is for the bin for a start'

I might just be the Emelda Marcos of the shiny black leather flat shoe. I have so many styles, ranging from a steel toecapped industrial boot to a velcro fastening sandal, and I have rather a lot of them. Luckily I am light on footwear and rarely wear out any, the industrial boots are from decades back - and have a tiny scratch, but they make me two inches taller...

I think there might be a genetic component in this liking/aversion for polish.

[Richland]

Ah, Pleater, maybe that is how it works. The Chattee feels the need to take care of the dissheveled types, and he is an instant sucess...I on the other hand give off the aire of no need for a woman in my life.....
OK, no more shine and pressing for me..LOL
I will add this to my list of "secrets of the oposite sex."

For casual wear, the best thing I've found to do is make a sweep, plop your backside down and not worry about it. :-D I've got some kilts that due to material are going to experience some creases and wrinkles. I knew that before I bought them.
