I have a green Canvas Kilt, which I purchased from Matt. It now needs to be cleaned for the first time. How do I do that?

Throw it in the washing machine. COLD water wash, hang to dry then sream iron the pleats.
You could save yourself the trouble and have the cleaners wash and press it.

For my Alpha's I use cold water, woolite for darks and dry them on the dining room table after arranging the pleats.

The Buzz Kidder Kilts are not actually Canvas but a 100% Cotton Twill fabric commonly called "Bull Denim". They wrinkle quite badly in the wash.

Cold water wash with liquid detergent. Into the dryer on low or permanent press setting and remove just before the cycle ends. The kilt should still be tumbling.

Then iron with a Cotton setting and Lots of steam. A spritz bottle of water to make more steam is a good idea.
