    Hello Panache,

    The kilt looks great! I just purchased this same one myself. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep it looking good as far as keeping the wrinkles out and the creases sharp? This is my first kilt and I want to make sure to take good care so I can enjoy it for years to come. Thank you for the help in advance.

    Slainte!
    Shawn

    Shawn after wearing it I let it drape over the back of chair overnight to air out then careful hang it on a kilt hanger in its own plastic garment bag with a cedar block at the bottom.

    I have steamed it with the steamer setting on our iron once I think.

    I has held up remarkable well since I first got it. In truth I find the all black very dramatic and tend to save it for certain evening events so it doesn't see as much use as my others. But having a solid heavyweight green and the lovely Lamont variant heavyweight both from Stillwater Kilts I can tell you the Heavyweights are a grand deal for the money and really hold up well with lots of use.

    Cheers

    Not when you go as an invited guest

    It's all about knowing the right people...

    ...err

    Perhaps more accurately I should say, it's all about having the right connections.

    Grant,

    That reminds me that certain individuals were wondering if you would be perhaps interested in becoming the pilot of a space craft. It would be a Capital ship and the position would certainly be permanent. A great opportunity to be had for someone*.

    If interested I'll pass on your contact info to Mr. Morden...

    Cheers

    Jamie

    Jamie,

    Thank you for the helpful advice. I'm looking forward to getting it in the mail and seeing what the shadow effect is like.
    Well, enough with being off topic. This kilt could give a whole new meaning to "The dark side of the Moon" huh?
