I currently have a philabeg from Rocky and Kelly.

I am not just "bending over." I am both bending and hunkering. My knees don't bend as much as I would like them to any more. And when I do this, certain bits of my anatomy dangle down below my sveldge. Everything just hikes right up.

I have noticed that my apron puckers a bit. On the left side. Just on the left side, on that first pleat. Don't get me wrong, I love my kilt. I am just learning how complicated it can be for such a simple garmet.

I didn't know that human beings shaped like barrels needed to measure things like "rise" and "drop." No other kilt site ever mentioned these things. And seeing as how a few folk around here are large men, these sorts of things could be awfully handy to know.
