    Got a pipe band in your area? Find out where they get their stuff cleaned.

    Who's the tailor? Can't wait for the pictures.

    Congrats Smaughazard,

    Just hang the kilt up, the wrinkles will fall out on their own. You're gonna enjoy this kilt.

    Before you try the cleaners, try these steps first:

    1. Just hang it up for a while. If the wrinkles aren't too bad, the weight of the hanging pleats will pull out any wrinkles.

    2. If you can get a hand held steamer, run a little steam over the pleats to loosen the cloth, then tug gently but firmly at the bottom of the pleats to pull out the wrinkles.

    You can always go to a cleaner if these don't work.

    The advise from our dance teacher is NEVER NEVER NEVER have the cleaners press your Kilt. She has had more Kilts wrecked that way.

    You're hooked now!

    So who's the craftsman that sewed it up for you?
