Found a local cleaner

[ChromeScholar]

Found out the dry cleaners I have been using for the last two years cleans and presses at least a dozen kilts a month. Showed me one they had one on the rack waiting to be picked up. Nice work. I know where I'm taking my kilts now.

A nice surprise.
Cleaners, who understand how to clean a kilt, are a rare animal.

Hmmm...Prescott?!?!?!? That's only a short 3 1/2 hour drive for me...Let me know how they work out for you.

[ChromeScholar]

I would imagine there must be someplace closer than Prescott that does kilts.

[azwildcat96]

I'm sure there is, but Prescott is such a nice little town that I don't mind visiting every now and then.

Actually, I may be travelling up there periodically to help a new highland throwing group with their training. Have you ever considered trying out the sport, ChromeScholar? I know they are looking for new recruits, and they are a great group of people.

[ChromeScholar]

I have not. No time, really.

Yes, they are. Precisely the reason why I have never taken any of my kilts to the dry cleaners (and probably never will). All I do is give them a simple pressing as needed.

I do the same. After wearing, I hang the kilt near a partially open window for an hour or two (in the winter with our 70 mph winds driving the rain sideways, I use a window on the leeward side of the house) before returning the kilt to its bag and two cedar blocks.

?....... (in the winter with our 70 mph winds driving the rain sideways, I use a window on the leeward side of the house)......

Only 70mph?....that's just a slight breeze in the winter months.....except for those east-coasters which consider anything above 35 a "high wind"....LOL.

Well done Highlander31, way to air a kilt out.....

We always laugh at the news, when they whine about their small winds on the east coast, while ours here on the coast in the Pacific Northwest, never seem to get a mention. If I remember correctly, 70 mph sustained winds qualifies as hurricane strength.

The winds tend to get a bit higher when the heavy storms roll in.
