I can't imagine what you would be doing to your kilts that they would need to be slammed into a washing machine. My heavyweight is almost 5 years old and its been dry cleaned once. After wearing a kilt all day on a hot day, I simply fan it out on the bed for a couple of hours, then hang it up and its ready for the next time. I've found it's just not necessary to clean a kilt as often as a pair of jeans... If I'm doing something in the workshop, I wear something else.
