Thanks Ham!

You're such a treasure!

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!

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!!

I'll do the same thing, that's actually my usual style of seating. Its definitely become a habit, as I'll find myself doing the same maneuver even on the odd occasion that I'm wearing shorts or jeans. Drop down and slide back.
