I am a hanger type like Matt. I have a bunch of kilt hangers from Scotweb that are large enough to accomodate my 45-46 inch waisted kilts without allowing the ends or center to droop, I put two or three each into those inexpensive hanging storage bags available at your local department store (Walmart, Target. etc) for a couple buckes, and hang them either in a closet or one of those moving company wardrobe boxes. Same with my kit jacket/waistcoat sets, except on Order of the GAel hangers or regular suit jacket hangers. I put either a cedar block or one of those lavendar hangers in with each bag. The bags allow the clothes to breath so there is no mildew or moisture problem, but keep out the bugs. The combination of cedar and lavendar is strong enough to keep the moths away, without being so overpowering as the mothballs, and either is far more pleasant to smell than the mothballs. I personally prefer the lavendar, but some might think it a little effeminate to go out smelling of lavendar into the world in a manly kilt. The smells usually dissipate with about 24 hours of hanging in open well ventilated air. So far no holes or other moth evidence, and both kilts and jackets are ready togo at a moments notice, if you don't mind the smells.
