Packing Kilts in a carry on bag

[Bugbear]

I've been able to fold a StillWater into thirds instead of rolling it. That allows the kilt to be folded in half from top to bottom, and fit into a shorter bag. It might wrinkle a couple of pleats on the sides, but does all right otherwise. It also helps to put a rolled up shirt or cloth of some sort on the inside of the fold when you fold it from top to bottom. This keeps a wider curve at the fold. Sorry to have to say "fold" so many times. Hope this helps, and enjoy your trip.

I'd have to agree with the roll & tuck into a nylon legging approach; it's worked like a charm each time I've traveled. Just in case of any wrinkles (which is usually not an issue with a good wool kilt), I also pack a little portable Jiffy steamer - takes care of the pleats in a jiffy!

I have simply rolled mine and threw it in a duffle, no nylon, no problems. Amtrak allows carry-ons up to 28" long, should be no problem.
