    Storing kilts for a couple of years

    I am going to put kilts in storage for maybe two years, maybe longer. Anyone have any suggestions as to the best way?

    I was thinking of the old roll them up in a lady's stocking/knee high thing, stacking them in a plastic container with a bit of moth repellent, and sealing it with duct tape.

    But then I was concerned about having to press them after two years, and thought about basting the pleats now (instead of likely then when they are about to be pressed) and storing them flat on top of each other, with perhaps acid free paper between them. And sealed up air tight lest moth and rust corrupt.

    Anyone had any experience with long term kilt storage?
