I noticed last night that my SWK Heavyweight has s small spot on the front apron. I don't recall spilling anything on it, but since it's currently my go-to kilt it was probably fairly recently. Anyway, searching through this site and the rest of the interwebs, I think I have a pretty good handle on how to wash the kilt myself. I thought I would present my findings first and get some opinions before I proceed and do anything stupid.

I found this article here about washing wool sweaters that seems not far off from a lot of the advice I've seen on the XMTS forums. The most comprehensive I have found on this site being this post by Rocky.

There are just a couple of discrepancies that I would like clarified if you don't mind. The sweater article seems to imply that warm water is preferred as long as you stick to warm water and avoid extreme temperature changes. However, most of what I have read on here suggests using cold water. Also, the sweater article explicitly recommends against using woolite while I've seen woolite recommended numerous times here on the forums.

XMTS seems to be my definitive resource for all things kilt, so I am inclined to follow what is recommended here. However the sweater article seems to be well informed and I just want to see what others thought as well.

Cheers,
