Travel with a kilt

[Tomo]

I have used a kilt roll when only taking carry on - no problems - but maybe remove the kilt pin if you use one. Mine is made from antler but even then it was questioned at security in NZ, until one of the security guys colleagues (a fellow kilt wearer) intervened. He just asked, if it was a kilt pin and then waived it through.

I am contemplating a shipping box for artwork. They come large enough for kilt and sgian dubh. I figure FedEx each way. Has anyone tried this?

Isn't there a way to fold a kilt into a suitcase?

I watched a video where they showed the process of folding a kilt so that is an option, however, my sense is it will leave a line.

My best sense from this thread is my wife and I consolidate our carry on's, I get a kilt carrier and leave my sgian dubh at home.

May also.get a ki!t pin that won't be hassled by TSA.

Wool will be fine, any creases will drop out (although I can't say I have noticed any when I have folded mine) - PV maybe not so much.

I've never noticed any creasing problems with kilts I've packed (sometimes shipping them, meaning they spend several days in packed configuration). Usually I roll them (as you would for a kilt roll) then slip a nylon stocking over them. Am I doing something wrong?

Will.a kilt carrier fit under a row of seats on typical airplane?
