    I do similar, though I use three hangers-- one for the pleated back, one for each apron, then fold the kilt as I'd wear and hang it. Probably overkill and I could probably get away with one on the pleats, one for both aprons. (I probably learned it here.)

    The good thing about this is that by spreading the hangers on the closet bar, it opens up the kilt a bit-- like just in case I'm not quite sure it's fully aired from the last wearing, or whatever.

    This is a fabulous idea.

    Not to start any arguments, but, posting this as information. The gentleman who made this video is a kilt maker, who was formerly in a kilted regiment, where he learned to make their kilts. Perhaps rolling the kilt works, without "cold pressing", if one actually wears their kilt frequently? ( I do not know, just speculation.)
