    I've bought leather from Buzz Kidder, but held off on their kilts. Saw them at the Buzz Kidder booth at the Highland Games in Flagstaff, AZ last year and even the sample kilts they put out were badly wrinkled and curled. Figured if they had that little interest in their presentation for sale who knew about their concern for quality making them up. Maybe just some lazy folks hired to man the booth.

    Wondering though, if the "weighted clip" system works so well with Utililkilts, it might work with Buzz Kidder kilts too. Just weight the pleats while the kilt is drying. I use half ounce fishing weights duct taped to both sides of WalMart hanger clips.



    Only takes a minute to clip them on once the kilt is hung up. Having that bit of weight on the pleat while it dries seems to give the fabric "memory."
