I've noticed several comments about the value of the sporran holding the kilt down in a high wind: the problem is not the wind you know about-for that is easily dealt with: and even then the weight of the kilt will tend to keep things under control.

However there is a real risk from the gentle breeze that you probably will not even notice, or discount as being too light--often encountered near high buildings or other situations where such light winds can be channelled.

That is the gentle up flaring of the pleats: when un known to the wearer much more than expected will be displayed. Often the only way of knowing will be the amused comment of a friend.

An illustration of this was a couple of weekends ago-I'd visited some castle ruins with the lady, and at one stage was leaning on the wall looking out of an embrasure-to hear her say 'That's a lot of leg'--and very gently that sneaky unnoticed breeze had flared up the pleats.

The same can happen in car parks-when again the breeze is channeled-and you can be bending into the car to get things out of the boot/off back seats etc--and unbeknown to you the pleats will be enjoying an active life of their own.

But having said that-in all my years of kilt wearing-when without doubt on occasion 'too much' has been revealed: as will happen when choosing to wear such a garment-it has never been a real problem. If anyone happens to notice-an amused smile from them and a grin back-end of story. Unless your lady has a sense of humour-and then there can be some suggestions/comments--all too often unprintable.
