es, not all kilts are well behaved - but when still in the fabric stage of their development they are quite untamed - in fact, during sewing and pressing stages they are probably worse than teenagers - there are kilt lengths all over the settee and the snooker table, on the dining table and bolts of fabrics still wild and unmeasured are lurking under the stairs ready to leap out and trip up anyone passing by.
Almost finished kilts are draped over the ironing board in the back bedroom and spread all over the bed and chest of drawers.
Perhaps once they settle down and get a few wearings under their belts they will become less unruly but at the moment things are chaotic in the extreme.
No change there then.

methinks this may have more to do with the person monitoring them and in charge of thier upbringing than the kilts themselves.... as long as you use a firm hand with them they will behave themselves quite well - for the most part...

I think it's only the leather kilts that like to be whipped...

Maybe if I tackled them one at a time they might get more training - unfortunately there is the kid in the sweetie shop effect at work here.
Having found quite a few pieces of material long enough for kilts in my stash, bought more at the charity shops and then gone on to eBay - I think it is a case of having too many untrained kilts in the house at one time and the pack instinct taking over.
Maybe they need some firm pressing and hanging up in good order for a while to instill some discipline.
