Got the last of the finishing touches done on the Kilt Kloset cedarization update/moth-proofing project prompted by the first visualization of those little devils just over a week ago. Overall cost me about as much as a machinesewn kilt, but if it saves the current collection from holiness (pardon the pun) it is worth every pence spent. All woolen headgear is in plastic storage boxes, as are all sporrans not made purely of leather. All such boxes have at least one or two cedar blocks in them and are sealed with locking mechanisms. All kilts and jsckets (except the two I am wearing later this week) are already in moth-proof garment bags with cedar hangers in each. All shelves and each drawer have a cedar plank base in them for further cedar surface area. I have a bottle of cedar oil for revitalizing all the cedar when the smell starts to wane. I have moved all my hose into the bottom two large drawers along with all my flashes. I also bagged up my regular dress jackets that were Harris tweed and put them in the closet too, for safe summer keeping.
Right side behind the door---hats, bonnets, etc and shoes. Left side sporrans and the bottle of cedar oil on top of the drawers.
Turned slightly left, now showing some of the hanging goods.
Top and bottom hanging goods all in storage garment bags of one sort or another, except the two I have to wear this coming weekend. Neat and tidy, and safe from the demon moths we can only hope. Still have to punch a few holes in the plastic containers of sporrans with a finishing nail to vent them a bit as per Artificer's advice. Otherwise I cannot really think of any other ways to make this little closet any more moth proof Than i already have. Anybody got any further ideas?
