    Thumbs up My new hybrid!

    Here's a couple of photos of my new "hybrid kilt" from Burnetts & Struth. The tartan is Robertson Hunting Modern. I am very happy with this kilt; top notch quality as always, and the pockets are fantastic. My only nitpick is that it doesn't have loops for a clothes hanger so I am not sure how to hang it.

    Welcome to Xmarks. If you get hold of 2 skirt hangars, you can hang the kilt this way...

    Open the kilt up, and then fold in half, and fold in half again. Attach one hangar to the waist on one side of the 2nd fold, and the other hangar to the waist on the other side of the 2nd fold. Now each hangar is only holding a double thickness. The kilt can be hung in a closet easily this way.

    Otherwise, just fold the kilt and lay it flat.

    No loops necessary!

    Kilt Hanger

    My method for hanging light- to mid-weight kilts.

    Make one of these out of two by moving the clips from one to the other. The "sacrificial hanger" can still be used for shirts.

    I tried one of those but the kilt is too heavy... it just slips out of the hanger grip.

    After a lot of frustration with kilts falling off regular skirt hangers I just gradually replaced all mine with the ones Jerry sells at Stillwater kilts

    Yah, it probably depends also on kilt construction. I've got a 16 oz. 8 yard kilt made by USA Kilts. It has a hem of fabric rolled over at the top which prevents it from slipping off the hanger. I don't know if this is standard for all kilts.

    I wonder if adding hanging loops would be fairly easy to do for you or fairly inexpensive to have done by an alterations shop?

    Hanging kilts can be a challenge.
    The one pictured here is exactly what my Dad has for his kilts - but with a little extra TLC.
    My Dad (86 yrs young) has a hard time making his hands do what he wants some days. So I took some anti skid material (comes in a roll) that I purchased at the dollar discount store and wrapped it around both sides of a pant hanger. I stitched it to the hanger, completely covering the wooden parts of the hanger. It's not fancy but it is secure. I used dental floss because that stuff never breaks. I didn't want to use any type of tape or glue in case the adhesive reacted with the tartan. I've used anti-skid on hangers for years, and it has never stained anything. It comes in about half a dozen colours, with different patterns in the foam. Some have a mesh look, one is a solid mat. It's 1/16"-⅛" thick and I used the one that is a mesh so that it was easy to stitch through.
    Now Dad can hang his kilts without them slipping or even moving when he hangs them up. He says he just has to make sure it's straight in the hanger because he can't shift it once the hanger is snapped into place. Works like a charm. He has asked that I do his pant hangers the same way.
    Proof is in the pudding, they say!
    Sorry I don't have a picture - the hangers are 2 ½ hours away. Will be chauffeuring Dad to a wedding (in a kilt, of course!) in October. I will try to remember to take a picture to post.
