When I got an off-the-rack kilt a year or so ago, I took it to my cleaner to have the hem raised a couple inches. The girl at the counter checking it in couldn't figure out what to call it. After finally settling on "garment" she called the actual tailor to take a look and give me an estimate. The look on his face was priceless as he pulled back the apron... and a length of hem... and another length of hem... and another... and another. Half way through, he started cracking up at the sheer magnitude of the task I put before him.

A week later, I picked it up and saw that he'd done a fantastic job setting the hem and repressing the pleats. If I ever do dry-clean instead of hand washing, I'm definitely taking my kilts to him.
