After visiting the Wizard at Freedom Kilts a couple of years ago, I hustled home and bought myself a professional pressing system like the ones that he has. The iron has a teflon sole plate cover that lets you press directly on wool without a press cloth. Although the pressing system was expensive, I've saved its cost many times over. I can press a kilt in 1/3 the time that it used to take me, I can actually see what I'm doing, and the quality of the press is much better.
