Added weight to Sport Kilt
I was reading Richland's thread on the Blackwatch Well in Bermuda and he mentioned that he brought his Sport Kilt with him but did not wear it because of high winds. I have worried about this at times too when wearing the Sport Kilt at the beach (walking along the seawall mostly). There are unexpected updrafts and the PV can create some excitement.
I know some of you will be horrified by this but I sewed drapery weights to the inside, inner pleat on all my Sport Kilts. The weights are pretty heavy. I got mine at JoAnne fabrics and they came 4 weights to a package. I tried to get the product info from their website but the search engine is weak. Anyway, I do not worry about the wind now. The kilt still sways and the pleats hang nice and straight. I don't believe that the weight causes any distortion in the innner/outer pleat appearance. If anyone is interested, I'll post a pic later (when I get home).
