And, you can enhance the wash and wear ability of whichever model(s) you choose by making up some weighted clips to clip on the bottom of the kilt pleats when you hang it to dry. The gentle weight of the weighted clip will pull the pleat straight as the fabric air drys.

You might be able to find some premade picnic tablecloth weight clips, but as many as you need for a kilt that can get expensive.

I've used the inexpensive hangar clips sold by the bag at big box stores for about a buck or two. Then I take half ounce lead fishing weights and duct tape them on to each side of the clip. That's enough weight to do the job.

Only takes a minute or so to clip them on.



This pic looks busy because it shows weighted clips on both the front and back pleats. Since I took the pic I've found that I really only need to clip the front pleats and make sure the back pleats are hanging straight.

I will recommend Freedom Kilts I especially recommend the front slash pockets. For another option check out RKilts they have canvas and hemp, well and leather (all solid colour ). I have an RKilt hemp shirt but not kilt buthemp is definately rugged and long wearing.

Hey Ron, I did pretty much the same thing, only I used regular wooden clothspins and drilled a hole in the end, and wired the weights through the hole.

You're right, that picture looks busy - I originally made twelve weight things, and have found that with the twelve weights, properly spread around, it is enough.

Of course when I get my Gizmo in, that will reduce.
