Need advice QUICK!!

[USN Diver]

The Wife and I are leaving for a cruise tomorrow and I'm planning on wearing the new Kilt for the formal nights (I'll give a FULL report on this when we get back.) Question is what's best for transporting the kilt, rolling or hanging in a garment bag? I've seen some folks roll them but don't have a clue how to do it and am afraid of wrinkling it up if I try.

Any advice would be appreciated,


Dave

I would hang it, if the clothes are going to be treated gently on the trip.
Some might say it depends on how the rest of the garments are being stored, toted and what not.
This is just what I think would work, so it isn't expert advice, but it is what I would do.

When I met with Turpin here last week, he was waxing eloquent about the virtues of the Kiltroll that he got from the Kilt Store...a bit late for you to order one but perhaps there is a way to roll it and pack it without one.

Rolling them up works very well. All you need is a stocking. Here's how-

Good, this is the thread I was thinking about. Follow the directions and pack with impunity. Enjoy the trip!

Thanks very much for the thread (I shoulda thought to look around the forum first before I screamed for help.)

I'll drink a toast to ye on the ship.

Thanks again,

.... Question is what's best for transporting the kilt, rolling or hanging in a garment bag?...

The very bestest most prefered funnest method is... wear it!

Don't sweat it! You will be wearing a kilt, and, unless I am mistaken, in the company of hundreds of people who have never seen one worn before. They won't know if it is wrinkled, a proper tartan, or the proper length. The kilt itself will blind them to all details. So roll it, fold it, wad it in a ball, it won't matter. And if it is a wool kilt or a good modern material, hanging it up for an hour before wearing will probably correct most sins from packing.

Take a large towel or folded sheet, sarong, whatever. Lay the kilt out on it, apron up. Start rolling from the right side, rolling the kilt up in the fabric. I carried my saffron this way for a week in my duffel bag with no problem.
