Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
Binx,
In the kilts I make, I usually sew the edges. First I don't have a professional high-pressure steam ironing machine, and second because some of my kilt are in lighter wool or another fabric that doesn't hold pleats as well as thick Scottish wool.
Greetings,
Jan
Sewn down pleats can indeed curl up because of the thread shrinking. Most casual kilts have sewn creases, and they tend to curl a bit. But casual kilts get so easily wrinkled that you never notice the curling of the pleats.
Cheers
The worm that destroys you is the temptation to agree with your critics in order to get their approval.
