    I have a question about Stillwater Kilts in general, How do you guys wash them?

    I currently only have a UK, and I can machine wash that. I would love to have a thrifty SWK for casual wear, but would hate having to get it washed. Is it possible to wash the thrifty at home?

    I've been looking into getting either a thrifty or a standard SWK. While it wouldn't seem to bad taking a standard to the dry cleaners or something, It just doesn't seem worth it for the thrifty. Do you guys hand wash your kilts or is there an easier way?

    First off

    I throw my synthetic SWK's into the washer, gentle cycle, hang dry, seldom need to refresh the pleats! Synthetic fabric has come a long way!

    Thanks for the welcome, and all of the replys. I had been lurking here for a little while, doing research before I bought my first Utilikilt.

    So, it sounds easy to wash on gentle, and I already hang dry my UK, so now I really want to get a SWK.
