    Turpin,
    I have a SW Black Watch that originally did the same thing. I emailed Stillwater Kilt's and they gave me the same instructions that are now posted on this forum and referenced in mddock's post. It wasn't hard to do and it worked perfectly!

    Well, I tried the re-pressing thing. Had to move the pleat over 1.25". The apron lies flat now at the first deep pleat, but my iron, set on wool and steam, wasn't up to the task of obliterating the original pleat, so I've got this extra line that really shows on the solid saffron. I don't think it would show on your black as much. Hopefully, as time and dry-cleanings work their magic it will fade away. It would be nice, though, if SWK would just modify their apron design a tad.
