Pittsburgh Kilts: Yay or nay?

[Jewddha]

MacSimoin, I can't compare to an acrylic (my only other kilt is a poly-cotton FK), but I can say that I would not wear it to anywhere "fancy" without a touch-up. I wear it most days after just snapping out the pleats, but most of my days means high school. If you're dead-set on the 12 oz. twill, I think you'll find the same problem anywhere, because of the nature of the material (that being cotton). Now if you don't mind a lighter weight kilt, I would consider looking at Freedom Kilts (the 9.5 oz. poly-cotton looks sharp and dressy with little to no care). ANother option is to e-mail Jeff, and ask what he has, I know when i got mine made, he was extremely helpful in looking around for alternate fabrics, colours and patterns for me, so I suggest asking him about it before discounting ordering from him.

I just went downstairs after posting that and looked at my kilt. In all honesty, after running my hand sover it and smoothing out the pelats (maybe... 45 seconds?) it looks pretty sharp, and the aprons didn't look bad at all. If you were to keep yours on hangers, I'm sure that would help it also. (my talk about pleats has to do with the fact that mine is a two-tone, the pleat edges tend to curl a fair bit, but to my knowledge that's not an issue with his single fabric kilts).
