Great idea. My son's 18 oz band kilt has conquered every hanger in the house...until now!

Thanks for the idea, this look like a great solution, I have wondered how two wooden skirt hangers back to back would work. It is difficult to find a hanger with enough bite in the clamps to hang a 16 oz kilt.
Kilts do hang much better when they are folded and take up less room in the closet, they will also fit nicely into a garment bag.

A classic example of Redneck Engineering.
And remember, if there's still duct tape left there's still work to be done.

Very nice solution!

I found an excellent source of hangers that are specifically designed for kilts and have 4 clips.
£9.99 each http://www.edirectory.co.uk/pf/88888...er/pid/4259347
or £24.99 for 3 http://www.caraselledirect.com/zcart...Remote&PID=288
I bought nine!
My kilts have never hung so well - a worthwhile investment.

Cough, cough indeed......! I had one of those things - once.
The plastic neck on the hook broke where it hooked onto the hinged section.
*poof* Scratch one pants hanger.
Why they would choose to use plastic right at the place of maximum stress and
wear is beyond me.

I use them for all my kilts (13-16oz 8 yards) and never had a problem.
At first I used the 40cm hangers, but they "meet" the buckles, so I now use
35cm instead.
To show my trust in them...I guarantee them for 1 year, when they fail I'll send a replacement or refund.
Just fold the kilt like you wear it...don't double fold.
