How to make a stiff kilt softer

[creagdhubh]

What material is your new kilt made of? From which mill?

It shouldn't be that stiff if it's 100% pure new wool or worsted wool, no matter what the weight of the fabric is. All of my kilts are made of heavyweight, 15-16 ounce kilting fabric from Lochcarron or D.C. Dalgliesh, and they do not feel like a new pair of denim trousers.

However, a kilt will indeed 'soften' over many years of wearing, but never to the extent that it feels like your wearing a pair of silk knickers!

Cheers,
