My apron's got a "wave" in it.

No problem.

If you have a tea kettle - electric or stove-top - fill it with lots of water and bring it to a roiling boil. Fold the kilt in a way that the bulk of it can be supported under the arm - bagpipe style. Stretch out the section of wrinkled kilt close to the steam while applying a bit of stretch to the fabric. The wrinkle should disapear quickly. If you've got another pair of hands to assist, the job might go a little easier. careful not to scald yourself with steam. An alternate to a kettle is a pot with a lid.

If you want to test your skills first... try it out on a wrinkled necktie or shirt sleeve. I've used this method many times.

If you wanted to get really creative, you could make your own steam jet device with an old pot and pot lid rigged with a short length of garden hose.

Have fun.

KMart Sells these 2 for $3.99

BTW - several of us picked up floor model garment steamers on sale from Home Depot last year - some of the best money I've spend on kilt care. 5 minutes and your kilt looks sharp as a tack!

I use the "Matt Method" to hang one of my kilts on a similar style hanger, it works well for the 13 oz, 8 yard kilt but the hanger doesn't have enough "Bite" for a folded 16 oz, 9 yard kilt. The Stillwater hanger would work much better than the double clamp hanger I'm using for my 16 oz kilt.

Will...Zellers stocks that type of hanger. I have a bunch of them, they work pretty good. I do have to use two of them to hold the weight of my 9-yd Irish National traditional, though.
