    How to tell a professional how to press a kilt

    Hello, All,

    I don't need a hand-smacking for taking my kilt to the dry cleaners. And I don't need advice on how to wash my kilt in a) the local burn, b) with my garden hose, nor c) in my bath tub. I took my New House Highland kilt to the dry cleaners, because I have worn it a lot lately, and I wanted to get the sweat out of it. I went to pick it up this morning, and the pleats were improperly pressed.

    The drycleaner is a pleasant woman who knows her business. The kilt was immaculately clean. And she did take care not to otherwise damage the kilt. She's not familiar with the proper pressing of a kilt's pleats, however. I have a photo from Matthew Newsome showing how the pleats should look. I could give it to her, but perhaps some instructions might also help. How do I tell this professional how to press the pleats so that they look like that again?

    Plan B: I'd like to send this to someone who already knows how to press a kilt. I freely admit I would not only ruin the kilt, I would probably burn the house down if I attempted it myself. Can anyone recommend a kilt presser?


    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Jared Brus
