    I have noticed that in most of the pictures members post wearing our kilts we always have our hands on our hips, or one hip and a dram glass, or arms crossed. However, I'd wager that if all kilts had these hidden pockets, most of the pictures would be with hands in one or both pockets. It's just what men do. I bought a leather jacket from a company rep once. The first thing I did after putting it on was to put my hands in the pockets. He told me that that's what most men do, and most will buy the garment if the pockets feel comfortable to them.
    Totally agree! I love the pockets on the mocker. We went out to dinner tonight to celebrate the birthday. I love a sporran, but I wonder if it would be possible to build pockets into a trad kilt. This is what I wore:

    Are you wearing a red T-shirt in that picture? I think I like that look, I didn't know a guy could look that good in a T-shirt.

    Can I tell you a secret? Before I head out in my Utilikilt I stand in front of the mirror, figure out where my navel is, and then make sure the belt buckle is centered with the snaps on the kilt which is centered with my navel.

    I have never had to worry about this with pants as they are auto-centering. I actually get a little crazy about it and then I say, "Phil....get real....no one is going to be measuring to see if you are CENTERED!!!" :rolleyes:

    Well, it is a t-shirt, but shall we say a better class of t-shirt (up-market)!

    Thanks for the tip on the centering (thought it was, but clearly isn't).

    Happy Belated B-Day, Andy

    The UK looks great. I, too, have a black Mocker. It was my first kilt and is still a favorite to wear.
