getting SWS economy drycleaned

[mddock58]

With the price of dry cleaning it (most cleaners start by using a standard price for the "skirt", and then add a charge per pleat, which can add up fast) you would probably be able to replace the Stillwater Economy in what you would pay for a few cleanings.

The Acrylic washes quite well, either by hand, or on the delicate cycle, with no harm to the leather.
Then as others have said, hang it to dry, straightening out the pleats.

If you need to press it, the best way is to baste the pleats to maintain their initial placement and PRESS, not Iron.

My sister knows a guy who takes all of his
clothes to the cleaners. (Yes he's rich.)
They don't dry clean everything; they
put the cotton shirts etc in the regular
just like us poor folks do.

The point here is if you just don't want
the bother of washing your kilt, the
cleaners can do that without resorting
to "dry cleaning." Just ask them
to wash it on "gentle" and press
it with cool steam.

It probably won't cost any less than
dry cleaning.

Ya know it occurs to me that if you want to have someone clean you kilt for you, you might look around and see if there's a place in your area that rents kilts. Ask them who they use to clean and press their kilt. If nothing else, they should know how to properly press a kilt.

HEY! No independent thinking is allowed.


It could lead to good ideas. You know, like the one you mentioned just now.

I washed my SWK economy kilt in cold water on gentle with woolite for colors. I then hung it to dry. I then took it to the cleaners and had it pressed only as I am iron challenged. I have 3 other poly kilts that I did the same to. All came out great!
