    How do you store your kilts?

    I've just read an article that says you should store your kilts rolled in a drawer rather than hang them on a kilt hanger. Just wondering how people store their kilts.

    I use The Wizard of BC's two hanger method as seen in the tutorial and artecal forum. That hangs in the garment storage thing along with my kilt jacket and a couple of suits, then all that is hanging on the rail of my tiny, tiny closet which also has a twenty gallon waterheater in it. The waterheater has nothing to do with it though...

    Hmmm... I've heard that rolling is basically just for travelling, but while at home it's best to put them on a hanger. It'd just be my luck that someone told me that backwards!

    I use a bamboo skirt hanger... they're available at Walmart. Very rigid. Does a great job.

    I store my kilts on 2 coat hangers. I hang the kilt to the hangers with clips (the pleated part to one hanger and the aprons to the other) fold the apron over the pleated portion, tie the two hangers together and store in a suit bags along with some cedar. I have heard of rolling kilts for travel but never heard of rolling them to store in drawers.

    I use a specialty hanger i recieved with my kilt. A;so, i bought a kilt roller off ebay a while ago, and there was a tag inside that said not to store your kilt rolled for an extended period of time.

    I close my kilt as if I'm wearing it (but not buckled) and then use one hanger for the pleated side and another hanger holding the two aprons together.

    Ditto that for my tank. Light weight kilts get one hanger -- skirt hangers used.

    Laying flat in a tin box with tissue paper between 'em, and some moth balls to keep the bugs away.

    I have to ask - where did you find a tin box that large?
    (I have this mental image of a giant biscuit tin ... )
