    Everything said here is spot on from my experience. It's 16oz, so just hanging it will probably fix 'er up. If for some reason they don't just fall out and you don't have a steamer, let me know. We're both in Dallas, so I can lend you my steamer for a touch-up.

    And if it's just the front apron, lay the kilt upside down on the ironing board, set the iron to wool/steam, and lightly press/steam the apron from the back side. You don't need to worry about a press cloth and all that. The only reason not to put the iron directly on wool is that it can leave a shine. If you're pressing from the back side, you don't really have to worry about it.
