Sorry to go OT...

After reading Rocky's note, how many of you thought of a kilt crying out: "Help, help, I'm being repressed!"

AHEM. Had to get that out of my system ...

Back OT:

I have sent my kilt to the cleaners a couple of times and it's always come back just fine. I have even pressed my kilt a few times between cleanings. I tried on the ironing board a couple of times. That works for short, simple touch-ups, but to get full-pleat pressing on multiple pleats, I go to the floor (carpeted), lay things out the way I want them, then go to work. Steam iron, wool setting, on the inside. Occasional spritz with some water if necessary for the set-in creases. If it's really necessary, I'll flip the kilt over and go over the outside using a pressing cloth.
