Came across this, curious if any of you store you kilts rolled and laying in a drawer? thanks

I hang mine currently but Mr. MacDonald's way seems to make a good bit of sense as well. Now all I need is another set of dressers with some cedar drawers.

Contrary to some sentiments I have seen I think it is possible to have too many kilts. I think that the best place for one's kilt is on one's hips. Wear it often. I do not have a problem with kilt storage because I principally have one and wear it often. Maybe Barb Tewksbury should be consulted on this. Seems like a vacuum bag could hold the pleats in place? That could then hang or be laid flat in a drawer.

I'm curious to hear from some of our expert kiltmakers on this subject. I currently hang mine, but I'm reworking our master closet this summer (need to build a whole new wing for kilts and kit

) and I'd love to know which approach is truly best.

the advice is also supposed to reduce the 'splaying' of the pleats.

The advice is from a kiltmaker.
Which approach is best will come down to preference, probably.

That looks like a GOOD idea, For storing the KILTS that you do not wear regularly, Or the storing "heavier" ones over the summer mo.

Thanks

I currently hang my kilt using the Wizard's two hanger method (my great kilt is folded and hung on a wooden hanger.) When I travel I roll the kilt and use one of my wife's stockings to keep it tightly rolled.
