    What I've ended up doing is tethering the lining to the hair canvas and on the left hand side with doubled up thread, like with a button, and with some slack to let the lining move, but not too much.

    It works for now, but I'm sure there are other, better ways of attaching the lining.

    So I will probably be redoing it at some point in the future.

    I guess to wash the kilt, I will fill my washer part way with water and soap; hand wash the kilt; put my laundry in without the kilt, then put the kilt in rolled up when the spinn and rence cycle starts.

    This hair canvas is rayon and polyester, but I'm not sure what would happen in the first cycle of the wash, and I'm also not sure what will happen to those tethering stitches when being yanked around in ways that never happen when the kilt is being worn.

    That is worth not having the crumpling issue when wearing the kilt.

    * never mind the washing stuff. I remembered that I have a mesh clothing bag for the washer, so I just folded it up in the bag, zipped it up, and threw it in the washer. We'll see how it holds up.

    If it gets pulled apart, I don't mind doing it all over again.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
