Really folks, its not the hangers. It really does not matter what type or style of hanger you use.
Buy exclusive, expensive, kilt hangers or get them for free at your local department store. Look in the back of your closet for those pants hangers left over from when you owned pants.
The whole idea here is to keep your kilts off the floor and wrinkle free. To support the expensive wool Tartan you treasure so much so it is not distorted by its own weight.
All I can do is offer a way of hanging a kilt that has worked well for me for the past 10 years on literally thousands of kilts. It's simple and does not need to cost much to do.
But please feel free to ignore it. I can't stop anyone from buying, sight unseen, some hanger priced at $20.00 apiece just because someone is advertising it as a special kilt hanger.
But you will never see a special kilt hanger offered on my website. If you ever walk into my shop you will see that every kilt is hung exactly as I have described. My off the rack P/V kilts, my solid colored cargo kilts, my rental kilts, my custom made hand-sewn tanks weighing over 4 pounds.
If you ever buy a kilt from me you will get the exact same, free advice on how to hang your new kilt. How you hang your kilt when you get home is totally up to you.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

The other benefit of Steve's two hanger idea is it makes it very easy to do spot cleaning, de-furring (we have three cats!), and steaming. You can hang the kilt on the shower curtain rod, separate the two hangers and quickly have access to all of the outside cloth.

The two hanger solution is an elegant one, especially for a business like Steve's. However I prefer the pictured hangers from Celtic Croft. Right now I'm wearing 40-42 inch waist kilts and they are a perfect fit on the four-clip hangers. A much larger kilt would spill over a bit.

If I am honest the last few years I have just been getting a sturdy wooden hanger and 2 plastic clamps from Harbour Freight. That clamps cost less then a dollar each and I have had nary a problem with it.
I went with the "Steve Method"® Works great for me. We used to own a Bridal, Prom, Pageant and Formal Wear shop and have a bountiful supply of the plastic clamp hangers.

Laddie, I was drinking Scotch a hundred years before you were born. And I can tell you that whatever this is, it is definitely not Scotch.__Scotty
