BTW, as an aside to this, I know some men who wear their kilts all the time and never have to re-press the pleats. I know others who wear their kilts only occasionally and seem to have to repress the pleats each time. The only factor I can figure coming into play is how the men sit in their kilts differently.

If you take care to smooth the pleats out underneath of you when you sit, you can avoid putting wrinkles into the pleats. If you tend to just plop down in your seat, you can wrinkle the cloth, and your weight as you sit effectively "presses" in the wrinkles. So, in other words, the more care you take when you sit, the less you should have to fuss with irons and ironing boards. :-) I'd search the archives on this board about how to sit in a kilt for advice.
