What I dislike about kilts...

[YoungMan]

I think part of the problem with kilts today is that they've become almost too dressy. The old kilt was just a length of cloth. You never had to worry about the pleats staying nice, bc it wasn't expected to be perfect, no sett, no sharp creases. It was redone every day. It was functional. The modern kilt is much more fashionable, and like anything in fashion, it's tough to keep it looking nice.

I agree young man. and with those kilts, unlike the modern, did not need to be altered if you gained a few pounds!

I find that I avoid going kilted when I have to sit for a long time, like at the theatre.
The worst, though, is getting into the car. It drives me crazy. I almost want to wrap myself in cellophane first to keep the pleats straight while I slide in and turn.

Have you thought of using the towel method? You wrap a towel around the kilt slide into the car and let go of the towel. Then just keep a towel in the car for your next outing.

So my dislike for kilts, ironing and being a perfectionist.

Whats yours?

Well, there's...hrm...let's see. There's...uh...dislike?..kilts?..

I'm not sure I understand the question.

I have the proverbial closet full of cheap kilts.
Well let’s say modestly priced.

For a camping weekend I’ll take maybe four of them.

I study the advance weather forecast carefully but nature being what it is I frequently think that I should have brought one lighter kilt or one heavier kilt.
Or the one that sheds water the best.

I’m no perfectionist on wrinkles because I sit frequently.
So pressing or steaming for “freshened” is all I need.

No, never thought of that, but I am absolutely going to do it now. Thank you so much!

re: McMurdo's towel method for entering a vehicle ...

I used it last evening before driving to square dancing and downtown to dinner. It worked great [as you knew it would]. Thanks again for the great advice!

My gripe...

Cat hair.

Cat hair.

I've seen dog kilts. Perhaps someone makes a feline version? Then you could politely ask him to shed on his own kilt.
