    That's all? For cleaning and pressing all those pleats, that is a bargain.

    Ah, well the secret to the $26.00 is twofold. One, all my rental kilts are Poly/Rayon blend fabric. No ironing or pressing needed.
    And two, If I send a kilt to the cleaners I have them write in big red letters on the form - DO NOT PRESS. Just clean the kilt and hang it up. I've seen more kilts ruined by pressing the pleats while they are splayed out.
    Two of the side benefits of using good quality kilt wool is that it is very wrinkle resistant. And - The pleat pressing is almost permanent. We do not iron a kilt, we press it. The creases will stay until you hit them with heat.
