How should I pack my kilt, etc?
This mid month I'm going to be traveling for work and will be meeting up with fellow X-markers for a kilt night, my question is how to pack a wool kilt and the trimmings for air flight... I was thinking of a suit bag, twin coat hangers with the clips, and roll my hose and garters and pack em in my sporran. I may bring a jacket as well, I was thinking of just hanging the jacket and shirt on the same hangers as the kilt and try to not fold it too badly
I'm trying to avoid spending money that would be better spent on arrival as opposed to on the journey
Am I on the right track or is ther a better way?
Another thought is to bring my PV casual from Rocky instead as its about bombproof and should travel well.

Stillwater kilts has a nice, and sturdy, jacket and kilt hanger combination. I have one and have used it for travel before. I have also rolled my kilt or kilts and packed them in a rope bag. The rope bag then goes into my carry on or check in bag. You can also roll a kilt and pull it into a woman's stocking. There are many ways to avoid buying a fancy kilt carry bag if you just use your imagination.

When I travel, I often wear the items that are hardest to pack. In the case of the kilt of course you would need to pack all the pointy things in checked luggage.
Failing that, I have often rolled my kilt and put it into an appropriately sized tripod case - as in camera tripod. Cheap, and generally available at your photography shop. (Take your pre-rolled kilt with you to test for sizes.) It has travelled superbly well that way.

Rolling it up is a good suggestion, as others have already noted. I just hang it when Inget to my room. Usually it straightens itself out just fine. If it needs some extra help to remove wrinkles, hanging in the restroom with the shower going for a few minutes is helpful.
Although, I find that the wrinkles work their way out just wearing it anyway.
Enjoy!

I usually go with a suit bag, especially if I am including a jacket. Generally, I don't have problems with wrinkles but a hotel iron used as a steamer will fix that (before anybody says anything, I am not suggesting pressing).
However, I have rolled kilts in a suitcase, with success, just as I have folded jackets - one trick with packing jackets is to turn the collar up and fold the labels in before folding. You'll get fewer creases.
Enjoy your trip!
