Woodtex kilts
Does anyone here have experience with Woodtex kilt quality? I know they're Pakistani made, but we deal with some companies that have decently made Pakistani kilts. I'm really jonesing for a saffron kilt, and the wife is completely against it due to the color. I'm also saving the larger chunk of money for my next big purchase, USAkilts semi-trad Tara tartan to go with my casual. I know stillwater has a good price for the heavyweight wool, but even that amount would be hard to slip past the wife. I'm not really big into the acrylic because I still have issues pressing them ( I can never seem to get all the wrinkles out!). Anyone got any real advice, or price range alternative?

I don't know anything about Woodtex but at that price....and the safron kilt looks good.
I got a 8yd PV made in Pakistan from HOS and it is very good quality, for the price.
As regards pressing, I use an old white cotton tee shirt with the top part cut off. Leave it double thickness and very damp with iron on hot. I never use the steam feature of the iron. The double thickness of the cloth will produce more steam and as long as the cloth does not dry out, it will not harm the kilt and should get the creases out.
Chris.
