    Moths and wool

    A good way to store your wool kilt, if you have no cedar chest: use an old cotton pillow case and wrap it over the kilt/hanger, making sure there are no openings! Storing it in plastic is a no-no. Wool has to breath, and over time, if left in the plastic, the wool becomes brittle. Good luck! DJM

    I've got some suit bags from Target that have plastic backs and a sort of a woven synthetic fabric on the zipper side...that takes care of the ventilation.

    Maybe pack your stuff up in bags like these with some cedar balls or blocks in the pockets? Don't know if that will eliminate any bugs that are already there, though. I am getting ready to re-do a closet with the cedar boards available at the home improvement center.
