    I have to admit that they did also try to sell me one that was far too long. When it was down at my pant's waist it fell to below my knees. But when I tried on a short, it just didn't feel right. So I put the longer one back on and pulled it up to where I feel comfortable. I know it's a bit of heresy to most of the Utiliclan, but I'm wearing mine at the traditional kilt waist. However, I think it looks quite good that way and it also helps keep the pockets in a comfortable location when I'm in my wheelchair.

    Ahh GlassMan,

    You got yourself a pair of "Scottish Jeans" That is soooo coool

    Hopefully, you'll be able to tweak the size...don't forget about their beer gut cut option, which might be more comfortable in a chair.

    Really think you're gonna like the no sporran feel, and how easily the UK narrow apron drops in place when seated.

    The unsecured waist helps with my waistline expansion from time to time too, and I think its more comfortable when seated.

    While the shows offer fast delivery, I've never purchased a UK at a show, only online/phone. Would rather wait for the right thing. And don't forget the scratch and dent rack.

    The shows are a great place to see the styles, fabrics, and colors.
    I sit down for a living. Not as much sitting as you, but more than most. I love the UKs for that.

    The UK logo is Form Follows Function. I think you're gonna see that.

    Welcome to a new sub-addiction (I have 14 UKs) if you like them you'll be getting more.
