Can I make cotton flannel keep pleats?

Welcome to the neighborhood

Short of stitching down the length of the pleats, which is how most casual kilts hold their pleats, you could iron on hem adhesive tape.


I don't know how well it would hold up in the wash over time but I used it in the service to surface apply more attractive fabric over my barracks curtains and worked great for that purpose.

For future reference though, there are a lot of great kilt options from our vendors for great looking, fantastic quality and affordable kilts.

from another Tennessean. Cotton flannel really doesn't have the right properties for making a kilt, the pleats will never hold without outside help. Its too light in weight. If you can tell us what you are wanting out of the kilt, we can point you in the right direction. Where in Tennessee are you?
