    Fabric Softener And PC

    Steve, I'm going to run my kilt through the wash (since you said it hasn't been wahsed yet) and since the fabric really is so stiff, I was thinking about tossing in soem fabric softener (hopefully soften up the underapron so it falls down a bit easier). Any do's or don'ts?

    Wash away Mikeal.

    I use liquid laundry soap and fabric softener in the rinse.

    Cold water wash.

    Then into the dryer on permanent press until almost completly dry.

    Remove from dryer before it quits tumbling and hang the kilt like I showed you.

    If this is'nt clear read the care and feeding instructions I gave you. They are in the hang tag.

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

    Hey Jewddha,

    Guessing that's the new kilt in your gallery, a good look man.

    I have two Freedom Kilts and used the scent free Downey treatment to soften them up (the CADPAT is heavy material) worked great. Wash away with no fear.

    Fabric softener + a full days wear is a huge help already, it can only get better I'm sure.
