    Sure does.
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    Douggie M , I agree with all the responses , good information .

    I have also noticed that it depends on the type of kilt one is wearing , some require a little more attention when taking a seat in the car .

    If I am wearing a full 8 yd 16 oz wool kilt , then a simple sweep of the pleats as I turn and set generally works just fine . An 8 yd kilt with knife pleats in a 16 oz fabric works quite well , smaller pleats are easy to sweep and the weight of the fabric helps . Usually no problem , although I'm only speaking for myself .

    On the other hand , if I am wearing a lighter weight PV or an acrylic fabric kilt with a lot less yardage and larger pleats , then it becomes a bit more fussy as the fabric does tend to crease and the pleats are a bit more unruly when trying to set in a vehicle due to the size pleats and the lighter weight of the fabric . In this case , I use the sweep and towel in the seat method .

    I'm not criticizing one type of kilt over the other ( I own all three types ) , just saying that I use different methods depending on what I'm wearing .

    Cheers , Mike
