    Jordan, I think it might be worth your while phoning the local kilt rental shops and asking what they do with kilts returned in poor condition. I think they will use professional cleaners, or they may do it in-house, either way they will no doubt have dealt with kilts which have been sadly been on the receiving end of treatment like yours was.

    That's a great idea Chas, I would never have thought of that method.

    I can do a quick touch up on the pleats but I'm not so sure that I can re-pleat a whole kilt.

    MacMillan's son and Alan H a cheaper kilt is good for just bumming about but since I was smartly dressed at the time sometimes you just have to risk it.

    Checking the kilt rental shops is a good idea, I wish I had thought of that before. I know just the place to swing past today.

    And beeswax is a new method to me, I am unfortunately familiar with the pritt stick idea, someone mentioned it one of my cadets the night before an inspection/camp photo last year and he managed to glue creases about an inch thick into his trousers
    The hielan' man he wears the kilt, even when it's snowin';
    He kens na where the wind comes frae,
    But he kens fine where its goin'.
