I too lack the drawer space for 15 rolled kilts but cann afford the foot and a half to two feet of hanging closet space it takes to hang the 15 kilts i own, 13 of which are either 13 or 16 oz 8 yard kilts, the other two being an 8yd PV and a 6 yd 16oz casual. Being a gentleman of substance my kilts are in the 44-46 inch waist range, and being tall all are 26 inches long (save the PV which is 25 inches long), which makes for some substantial weight. As Steve says many techniques will work and to each his own based on his/her needs and preferences. I like the long specifically desgned kilt hangers that I first bought from Scotweb, and now buy from Celtic Croft, with the 4 clips, as they are sturdy and can hold my 4+ pound kilts securely (even in a checked travel garment bag) in a minimum of space and all hanging neatly together in one corner of one closet in a series of clear plastic storage garment bags, where I can keep track of them and keep things in order. The shorter skirt/pant/kilt hangers work but require two for my sizable kilts, and I just dont like folding my kilts for long term storage personally. With the long hangers I never have an apron rumple or disheveled pleats in my kilts when they come out of the closet for wear, no matter how long they may have been hanging since last wearing, or how packed into the garment bags I have made them. Although the celtic Croft/Scotweb hangers DO cost a few dollars more (about $10 or so each), considering that I am hanging kilts worth up to 50+ times that amount makes the small extra cost of the hangers worth the investment, IMHO.
But to each his own.
