    fantastic! I've got a big butt and find it hard to sweep quite that much, but the "slide into the chair" really works!
    Thanks Ham!

    "This public service announcement has been brought to you by the Hamish."

    Great video, Hamish. I often do the same thing, but I also do it "handless", with a slight lean foreward as I start to bend my knees, lowering the bottom of the pleats below the seat of the chair, then sitting and sliding back. It works better with kilts that have a high "swish factor" over those made of stiffer material.

    Cheers,
    Nick

    I also use that method, Nick, especially when both hands are occupied - as at a party when you have a glass of wine in one hand and a plate of food in the other!!

    Thank you Ham

    Great video, and advice. I'm getting the sweep, but forget to slide. This works much better that my usual 'plop' into the chair.
