The kilt is perhaps one of the most recognisable pieces of garment the world over. In its most original form, it uniquely suited the practical needs of Scottish Highlanders. It has evolved a LOT since, and it is now often seen not only in ceremonies and official occasions.
Yes, they are still being made today, with care and respect, honouring its deep cultural and historical roots in Scotland. Its modern incarnation in modern utility kilts can now be seen being worn on a daily basis.
A utility kilt on the other hand uses fabrics other than wool, with patterns other than tartan such as: Poly-viscose fabric, cotton, denim, even leather, which are all great options for casual and semiformal occasions. They are also available in a range of colours and patterns, making it easy for the wearer to find a style that will suit their individual taste.
Regardless if they are traditional or modern kilts, it needs to be carefully stored between wearings. A kilt is a true investment that will last you a long time if you care for it properly. The good news is, it’s not that hard to maintain your utility kilt.
What is a Utility Kilt Hanger?
A kilt hanger is an accessory to help your kilt remain in pristine form when stored in your wardrobe or during transport.
With regular clothing, storing them can be as simple as folding them and stacking them on top of each other in a drawer or your closet. Kilts should not ideally be stored in such practice. First off, you should not fold a kilt because it will crease its pleats and look unsightly when the opportunity comes to wear it again.
Whether you have a traditional tartan, a formal piece, or even a modern utility kilt, storing your kilt is essential to keep it looking its best. The first thing you should do is to make sure that you air your kilt thoroughly. If there’s moisture in the kilt when you store it, mildew might set in that could end up damaging your kilt.
Once fully aired and dried, the best way to store a kilt is by hanging it using a kilt hanger that allows you to clip the kilt along the entire top of the kilt without sagging.
Ensure that its pleats are downwards and place it inside a garment bag. If you opt to store it in a drawer, it’s good practice to lay it down flat with a couple of cedar blocks to ward off pests like moths. The last thing you’d want is having a kilt with little holes in it.
Why Kilt Tailors Should Use Kilt Hangers.
The Ozkilts Utility Kilts Hanger is the perfect way to keep kilts in pristine condition, either for storing finished kilts in your sewing room or for transporting. The kilt hanger helps in keeping its pleat flat and straight and its apron smooth, sparing the need to re-press the kilt before each use.
Hanging the kilt keeps it crease free and makes them easy to store. Our specially made kilt hanger has four heavy-duty chrome metal clips with rubber protectors ensuring the kilt never slips off. It has the right amount of strength to hold even the heavier kilts without causing harm to the garment.
Durable
Have you ever attempted to hang a kilt on a skirt hanger or regular pant’s hanger? Don’t bother, it simply won’t work. Imagine the weight of a 5 or 8 yard kilt. A simple skirt or pant hanger will not suffice to hold it up for an extended period.
Ozkilts Utility Kilt Hangers are durable and will support up to 2 kgs easily without buckling or leaving any imprint on the kilt. If you’ve got kilts or work on kilts, you’ll definitely need kilt hangers.
Sturdy
Ozkilts Utility Kilt Hangers will securely hold the heaviest kilt you make and ensure the kilt won’t fall off even during transport. If the kilt can stay on the hanger during transport, it can certainly survive your closet.
Our hanger’s main body is handmade from wood rather than plastic. They are appropriately sized at 360 mm in length to ensure they fit any normal-sized wardrobes and appropriate for travel or transport.
It is possible to hang two kilts from the same hanger when travelling, since an Ozkilts Utility Kilt Hanger is sturdy enough to handle the weight. A bonus factor is that they fit nicely in garment bags to give your kilt/s added protection. We do however recommend utilising one kilt per hanger for best practice storage and to keep your kilts in the best condition.
