    I have washed my kilt several time as per Rocky's instructions and have hung it over the back of a chair to dry. The only problems I have is with the pleats not lying flat after drying. Ironing seems to get rid of the wrinkes but the pleats still show a lilt. I may try laying it flat on a towel this time. It's due to be washed after my Ireland trip where, I might add, it was a big hit.

    Thanks!

    I've always been nervous with washing my kilts and doing something wrong and messing it up. I can't think of much worse than misrepresenting the kilt by wearing a disheveled one. lol

    I kind of wish I took it to Belize but after looking at all my clothes I brought back, I'm glad I didn't. Belize + Archaeology camps do not seem conducive to kilt wear and care.

    And maybe it doesn't need to be said, but remove your kilt pin before washing!
