Pressing the pleats

[Droid]

I'd like to add... I've read all the threads about steaming. I've been able to steam out the smaller wrinkles. I do this on the floor with wet cloths and a warm iron, then I leave it to dry. Seems to work. Should I be hanging it up to let it dry?

A lot of people have said their wool kilts do not wrinkle much and easly straighten themselves... I do not understand how this is so. My kilt wrinkles soo easily it seems. Have I worn out the material? Is it time to retire this kilt?

DROID: Is this a worsted wool kilt? 13 oz? 16 oz? There were no issues when you received the kilt as far as the pleats?

I will second the comment on steamers. When I wear my kilt for a day, I brush it with a good lint brush (the exact one recommended in an thread from awhile back) I hang it and let the wrinkles "fall out" over night It the kilt requires a little remediation I have an old Jiffy steamer (floor model) and I carefully, taking my time steam the kilt. I only have a few "good" wool kilts and I am super careful about keeping them in good shape but this has worked for me.

Lochcarron 13oz. No issues when I recieved the kilt as far as the pleats go, that I remember, I got the kilt in 2003, but didn't start wearing it regularly until about a year ago.
