    When at Wally World look at their wrinkle resistant fabric. I got some of a nice weight made and X-Kilt is a solid black. After wearing it a couple of times I throw it into the wash then in to the dryer, pull it out damp and hang up. I run my hands down the pleats if they look like they need it, but this isn't often. I like tartan and wool but often lazy is better.

    I found a display at Wally Word of cotton looking/feeling cloth and as I was looking for price/content I noted the end said wrinkle resistant. It is probably teated in the same manner as wrinkle as no-iron Dockers. I like the look and feel of the kilt. I did sew the pleat edges fro a sharp edge, however, I think it would hold a pleat on its own.

    Check with the sales clerk and have them show you where the wrinkle resistant material is located.

    I will use this for my next X-Kilt rather than untreated cotton.
