input request
I plan to never be on the same page but wonder if I am on the right page!?
I know a man who uses a wheelchair and is actually a native of Scotland where he will be moving back. He is wondering if he could carry off the kilt sitting down. I told him about the forum and he said, "It isn't a support group is it?!" HAHAHAHA! Good one! I said oh my no just hundreds of blokes who think they are real rebels and daring.
Anyway, he is as big as a football player as you consider his overall appearance.
Oh my, how is he to ever show off the pleats? (:
He can lurk your responses or I can print them.

Kilt
I don't see any reasons why your friend couldn't or shouldn't wear a kilt. The kilt is still a kilt when worn while sitting or standing; although the pleats will not be seen very well when "swept under" for sitting, the tartan will be shown, however.
The sporran will keep the kilt in modesty mode while sitting.

I agree with KenB. Your friend might consider a 4 yard box pleat, I would think there'd be less bulk under him sitting.

Thanks to both of you! I never thought about the 4 yard kilt and yes a sporran is going with it.

A wheel chair seems an appropriate venue for wearing the kilt backwards - show the pleats and comfy seating. Makes sense.

What??? Not sure I agree with this train of thought. That's like suggesting that someone without arms should wear a wrist watch on their leg. I would wear it proper, and wear it proud.

Just my thought. Makes sense to me. Your mileage may vary.

Fair enough...At least we agree that the OP's friend should wear a kilt if he wants to. In fact, I believe it will be difficult to find someone on the board that doesn't think he should!

Maybe a chance for the great kilt as it would give some freedom to actual placement of pleats and material location for maximum comfort while seated.

I always say, illness isn't the measure of a man, just part of a man.
Yeah tell him to go kilted for sure, he gets my thumbs up.
