Rolling a kilt for storage or travel

Thanks Turpin and Jake!
That does help alot. Some pretty neat tricks.
I must admit, I'm not to sure about box-pleats working using these methods.:confused: :confused:

I suggest trying it overnight and then seeing the results. You're certainly not going to do any damage to the kilt. worst that can happen is a few wrinkles that will steam out during a long, hot shower. I really con't see why rolling shouldn't work with a box pleat, but the master boxer, Mr. Matt, may have some thoughts. you might send him a PM and ask him to look at the thread.

David,

I have to admit that I have never actually rolled one of my kilts for travel. I don't fly very often, so I usually am able to hang the kilt in the back of the car, or lay it flat. I usually hang it in a garment bag with my jackets and shirts -- my garment bag has two ealstic straps that fasten across all your clothing and that keeps things pretty well together when on the road.

But, in theory, I don't see why rolling the kilt should be any different with box pelats than with knife pleats.

Kilt-rolling only works well if the kilt is very straight, i.e., if there's little taper in the pleats from the hips to the waist.
