Storing Kilts
I am getting a little confused. What is the proper (or preferred) way to store my kilt? Ten years ago, I purchased 14" kilt clamps (kind of like a clamping trouser hanger, but much wider) for all of my kilts. The recommendation I had was to fold my kilt as I would wear it, but not buckle it, put the back half of the clamp through the sporran loops, align the aprons and back and clamp. I hang my kilts in the Kilter(TM) kilt case. In AoKM, I read that you should fold the kilt in half backward and then fold again and hang that way. This prevents problems similar to ones you would get from putting the waistbelt through the sporran loops, I suppose. So I adopted that method per Barbara's instruction--I mean it's the kilt bible, right? But I just read in another thread that kilts should always be stored rolled or laying flat. Would someone please settle this hash?
