I think that garbadine/cotton is harder to keep ironed than is wool, so it is not surprising that there is curling.
What reaction have you had when you wear it? I was just in the Caribbean for three weeks, and people kept asking if I was English.  One woman asked if Scotland was near Holland. 
GRacias Galician, realmente es un buen ambiente.
about the fabric: I buy it thinking its cotton polyester. then I realize is 100% cotton. Is a pain in the... arm. the rigth one, the one I use for ironing. LOL
So I learn about fabrics, and decide to wear it curly until made another Kilt. I hope this will be soon.
In the caribbean the people are more open and "extrovertidos" here in capital city they dont say nothing. Some teens (males) laugh a lot in the supermarket yesterday but shut up when I look at them, (not a bad look, a friendly one). Im a little "distraido" so don't realize people are looking me, My girlfriend do.
A funny situation was when I go to buy a subway (sandwich), when I was going out, the security guy was goin to open the door for my (they do it for males and females always) but when he realize I was a man wearing a "skirt" he freeze. He really don't wan't to take a mistake. He must thaught that if he open the door I will feel he is traiting me like a lady, so he freeze then take a step back.
I was really funny. 3 days after I was again, in trousers and he open the door.
Another funny situation was a group of guy in the trunk of a pick up, they was passing I was Walking. One make this whistling fiu fiu. And thay all laugh, so I look at him and said "What a bad taste you have!". all his fellows laugh a lot and he turn RED.
Besides this funny reactions IF someone say something usually is positive. and a few want to make kilts or at least to wear one.
we are spreading the Kilt. Thats good.
Saludos
Andres
