    What I want is an armoire, something along the lines of this:



    ...where I can store all my Highland wear & related items.

    Personally, I like to store my kilts flat (folded over once) in a drawer. I rarely hang them, except when showering (to remove wrinkles). In this way I'm putting less stress (from the weight) on the stitching etc over the long run.

    When I lived in Ireland I bought an old armoire with a mirror on the door at auction for about $25. Once I had it home I went to the local DIY store and bought some 4-inch wide cedar strips, which I cut to length and used to line both the wardrobe and drawer. The result was an antique that served as a functional "kilt closet" for better than twenty years.

    Recently I attended a local auction, and two 19th century armoires sold for under $100 each. Something you might want to consider.
