Packing a kilt

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Both Rocky and Ted Crocker have given you the best advice: fold your kilt.

[Standard]

How about simply wearing the kilt for your trip? You could pack your trousers and wear the kilt. Comfort, no need to worry about wrinkles from folding or creasing, and comfort.

If I am unable to hang the kilt while traveling, I roll it and use one of my wife's stockings to keep the roll tight. (Pour 1 malt did a tutorial on the rolling technique http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/k...x.html?t=19516.) The roll fits diagonally in my flight bag.

You could leave it on your hangers, I've done that for short trips, in fact, that's what i'm doing when I head up to Albuquerque friday.

So how'd you like the weather the first day? Being in the center of the Clan Tent was not fun! >.<

Why not wear it?

There's always the college student method... stuff it where it fits, hoping it won't wrinkle (and it will). When you get where you're going, phone mom and ask how she's done it all these years.

Weather didn't bother me, I like the wind

What works really well is a yoga mat bag, just follow the rolling instructions. Thankfully the new found popularity of yoga has brought a benefit to us, you can get these for very little money at Target or any similar store. You can then take it as carry-on, hate to check valuable items as they always seem to disappear.....

Thanks, I'm going to use that idea! :-D

Kathy Lare recommends folding the way Rocky posted above. She says rolling can mess up the pleats. I have done it oth ways, and both seem to work just fine. I would not store the kilt rolled, however.

Wear it for travelling much more comfortable and saves packing !!
