    My Frugal Corner pleats are immortal, never wrinkle at all.
    My Stillwater Thrifty Standard will wrinkle a bit but hangs out.
    Same for Utilikilts.
    My more expensive ones wrinkle a bit, but, all hang out after a day or two.
    Have never needed to steam them.
    I have no wool kilts - dry cleaning is not in my vocabulary.

    But my Amerikilt curls AND wrinkles - even if you don't wear it! I rarely wear it, as i'll have to wash it, then it takes forever dealing with the pleats!

    It's not in my vocabulary either, but I have wool kilts. You clean them? ;) I honestly haven't cleaned any of my wool kilts ever, but it's probably getting on time to do so - the trips to the pub have left their mark. I plan on doing it at home with some Woolite and a deep pan of water.

    Right on just use your tub with woolite or lanolin soap you can get at a feed and grain store and rinse with hair conditioner.(Just a little)
