    I had the same thing happen with my sportkilt when I went out to feed the chickens yesterday. The hens got quite a view, so they now know the answer to "the question".

    Why, wear a heavier kilt, of course.

    My UKs have not given me much trouble with that so far. Of course, I haven't dealt with truly gusty winds yet, although I am certain it will happen. Fortune has it that the laws here include "intent," which is hard to prove.

    He's right, you know.

    If you get to Chicago, walk across the Michigan Avenue Bridge*. The updraft can be positively outrageous and it's a true test of whther or not you can maintain your composure.

    *Scottish connection of Michigan Avenue Bridge: if you watch the movie "The Untouchables", it's where Kevin Costner, as Elliot Ness, encounters SEAN CONNERY for the first time.

    Exactly. (But if you think it's going to be a local law enforcement issue -- wear underwear.)

    Ignore it as an occupational hazard

    Or do a quick move of hand to the pleats to keep them down without looking too much like Marilyn Monroe!
