Pressing Kilt (Not resetting pleats)

[turpin]

In order to ensure your pleats stay just right, it is adviseable to baste them even when not re-setting them. that way you can move the kilt around if need be without worry about accidentally pressing a splay into the pleats.

Also, use a damp pressing cloth over the kilt - don't apply the iron directly to the wool or it might impart a shine to the wool.

here is a link to a good set of care instructions.

Lay out the pleats, spray with water, cover with a pressing cloth, and place the iron (on steam) on the kilt, pressing down for a few seconds...pick it up, and put it down; do not drag it across the pleats. Place a brick covered with tinfoil where the iron just was, to lock in the steam.
