Opinion of my first "Traditional" kilt

[Manu]

Same here. Those pinstripe suits look really nice, and I love how they show their in such casual fashion. It makes it so much more appealing for the young public.

I have recently discovered something I don't like about traditional style kilts. I realize I got used to me UK falling easily between my knees when I sat. The trad doesn't do it so well, all the fabric is on the other end. LOL hmmm maybe some inventive kilt maker will come up with some way for the fabric to fall?

That's why they sell the sporran. The correct location is where it is high but still low enough to weight down the apron.

A quick weighing down with your hand helps too; as you sit place your hand down between your legs to insure that the material falls between your legs.

And yes, the sporran helps immensely

Aye, practice the quick 'legs-open-sporran-push-down' when taking a seat and it'll become second nature to you.

...and choose who you sit across from carefully. ;-)

Place your hands down between your hands? Errr, how do I do that? :-P

I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about!



You know what I meant

Aye, Chasem, I did, but just like my post about pulling the hose up over my thighs (not that you commented on it!), I had to have some fun and point out the misintended posting! Many a slip between the head and keyboard!

When wearing a traditionally made WOOL kilt, the under apron has the weight and yardage to naturally fall when sitting. As long as you don't sit like you're riding a horse, it will drape nicely to cover your "belongings". I now have five kilts made by educated artisans (like they have at TFCK) and all of them fit and "cover" as they should. This is why I took the time and effort to get my education in kilt-making from the experts.
