I learned fraime my faither-in-law... hae tae roll the kilt along it's side, apron in, keeping all pleats intact... then rolling a nylon stocking up over the kilt to keep it in its "sausage" like shape...

when you arrive at the hotel you roll down the stocking and you have a wrinklefree kilt!

works perfect everytime...

I have to remember that for my trip next month.

Wouldn't it be a bit tricky to keep the pleats in place while you roll it?

A variation for those of us that are too lazy to take the time to be careful might be to get a peice of fabric that's long enough to lay it out on, and wide enough to fold over it, and just roll up the package and store the way P1M said. The pleats would stay in place by virtue of being sandwiched between the other two layers. It'd be a lot cheaper than the kilt carriers you see advertised.

My DW bought me one of those kilt carriers for Christmas back in '04, and it has been one of the best Christmas presents I have ever gotten. It makes travelling with the kilt and all the "kit" very easy indeed.
