I used to melt fishing line into all my Uniforms on the inside of the creases so they would hold the crease, and never use a nedle and thread.
That sounds a little bit drastic! Women's dressmakers already use lead-weighted threads to sew into hems of light-weight fabrics. Something just a little heavier than that would seem appropriate for kilts, but not as heavy as bruise-making fishing weights.
Besides, I see nothing wrong with the kilt 'flying' occasionally ......... it helps to keep life exciting!
