What is Poly Viscose?

[Hachiman]

The question I wanna have answered is: how easy is it to take the hem up, and can you iron the pleats in once you have done so?

I have found hemming a Poly/Viscous kilt no different from any other.

The crease set into Poly/Viscous fabric can, at times be a little harder to remove and get the fabric to crease in the other direction if the heat used to press the kilt was too high and "Melted" the fibers.

The irons I use have a sole plate that is cooler because they have a separate steam chamber, so I do not have to worry about getting the fabric too hot. I simply use the heat of the steam and pressure of the iron to do the work. If you steam the fabric, most times the creases will just fall out. This will allow you to fold up the hem and stitch it up, them baste the pleats and re-press the kilt.

As long as you are mindful of excess heat, hemming a Poly/Viscous kilt is no harder than hemming a dozen pairs of trousers.

Why do you want to hem the USAKilt Casual?

If you can wait go with a Causal USAKilt made to measure. You tell Rocky and Kelly your waist/hips/and length and you get a quality kilt the fits like a glove.

Since there isn't a price difference between a casual made to measure and a casual off the rack you only have the Jones-ing factor to contend with.
