I have mixed feelings about my local dry cleaner. I go to them with all of my military stuff and they do phenomenal work. When I asked if they clean and press kilts, they said yes and the cost would depend on the number of pleats. Seeing that I never mentioned that aspect, I was immediately impressed. When I picked it up, it was clean and pressed and looked almost new.
However, I was a little frustrated to see that they fastened it to a regular shirt hanger with......safety pins through the top hem rather than a skirt hanger (I even offered to leave my kilt hanger, but they declined... I can understand that though). The straps were a little bent from how they folded, but oh well, that's a simple fix (just wear it). The biggest grumble I have is that they affixed a barcode sticker to the inside. I assume that this is for the computer system to track, but this thing is stuck on there so strongly that I fear I might not be able to remove it.
I plan to talk with them in length about it when I go there with another kilt. Yes, they did a good enough job to warrant future kilt cleaning from me, but I have questions about whayt I stated above that I want to address with them.
