    I am of the larger sized kilt wearer and have found that the normal skirt/pants hanger too short. If I fold the kilt enough to be adequately supported the thickness will not allow the hanger to close. I decided to try a three hanger approach. I fold the kilt so the pleats are not folded and use two skirt hangers, one on each end of the kilt. I then hang this by a third "normal" triangle style hanger. I hang my kilts on the back of the closet door where there is plenty of room.

    I also just received one of StillWater's Deluxe kilt hanger. This is about 16" long and I think it is great. It cost $6.50 for one or a 6-pack for $29.50.

    As a man of size, this is what has worked for me:

    Use two regular pant hangers. Clamp them at the top of the kilt, side by side with about 2 inches in between. Pick the kilt up by the hangers and fold it at the 2 inch gap. Now the two hangers should be next to each other.. Hang away!

    Here is where I got the idea for the 2 pant hangers. I close my kilt like I was wearing it, but don't buckle it. Then use 2 pant hangers!
