    Well....I always figgered that I'd try to find the cleaners that did all of the pipe bands' kilts and go there...but it sounds like you got a wee bit of a problem there.

    May we ask if it's one of the wool or acrylic Stillwaters?

    Somewhere here there are threads dealing with cleaning and pressing...sounds like you'll have to at least wash it and iron out their pleats, baste it to the sett and re-press it. Press, not iron...hopefully, one or another of the true kiltmaking masters will offer some detailed instructions. Hope it turns out okay.

    Best

    Its one of the acrylic SWK standards, this is my beater that isnt afraid to be around the drunks and crazies on pub crawls etc, but knowing the way it looks right now i would not stop thinking about it if i wore it out, even if 99% of the people i bumped into wouldnt know there was anything wrong with it.
