Any minor wrinkling that occurs, or pleat curling, will work itself out once it's dry. Since it dries pretty stiff (mine is a duck-cloth canvas "workman" model), I shake it out several times forcefully and rub my hands over the aprons and pleats to work out the wrinkles and smooth it all down.
    Hi Tobus, It kind of worked out the curling problem once it was hung and completely dry after the Ironing. I just got to learn to sit in it properly, I find this is when the Kilt loses it nice Pleat Edge.
