    I for one have had similar situations. The back of the kilt just has farther to go when you sit down. The aprons get all the slack, but the back rides up. I find that this is particularly the case when I sit close the the edge of the seat. When I sit all the way back in the chair then I find that everything's in order.

    Definately a eye-opener the first few times though.

    My problem is that I have no butt, but a beer gut so I have funky fits at times. I've found that when getting into a chair or booth or car that I need to sit sideways with a good sweep and then turn my body into the proper position. This has helped relieve the jewels hitting the seat syndrome. There's also the two handed sweep that seems to help.

    Some seats are not very kilt friendly and sometimes it's hard to do a proper sweep...in a pub or restaurant when there's hardly room to move the chair for instance.

    My favorite restaurant is very kilt friendly...when I book a table they always make sure I get a chair without arm rests and enough space to move the chair

    I could be wrong on this, but it has always looked to me like the back of the UKs and shorter than the front. I have heard this same issue from other UK wearers, and wonder if this is the problem.

    Not when you hold them up. they only look that way when worn on the hips so the belly pushes down the front, or, on a skinny person, if they're so loose as to hang up on the back and dip in the front - just like pants will.

    I've always gotten the same impression but I think that may be because when most guys wear the UKs the waist is higher on the back than in the front. The kilt waist plunges beneath the belly yet rises up to the top of the posterior. Since UKs are short anyway, that leads to less coverage for your gentleman when you sit down. That of course isn't the case for a traditional kilt worn in the proper manner since it is a horizontal kilt waist above or on the belly.

    that is the "Politically correct" version, of which I don't recommend listening to...the original is much better.
