Polyviscose Pleating...how to keep 'em?

[Mr. Woolery]

I have one self-made knockabout kilt that is poly/cotton. I did machine-stitch the edges of every pleat and I never have to iron it (except for the one time while making the pleats so I could just follow the edge).

I would not really want to do this with an all-cotton material, though. Even denim gets all bunched up in the dryer.

Somehow, there are cotton trousers that claim to be all cotton, that don't lose the trouser crease in front, and don't get all wrinkly if you pull them out of the dryer and fold them right away. I don't know how they do it, but my wife has several pairs. If that sort of crease technology could be harnessed by the right-thinking element and applied to kilts, perhaps a cotton kilt would finally become a viable option for more folks.
