How do we put them on?

Is there any other way? I thought once it's adjusted, keep it there, pull it on and "drop" it off every time. So much faster IMO...

I just do it the normal way. The only kilt I've owned that I could do it the other way, was my first UK. A standard model.

My hip measurement is something like 5 inches larger than my waist measurement. I don't think I could pull that off either. (pardon the pun).

I'm in there with the bunch who cannot remove the kilt without unbuckling it. I am quite sure were I to attempt to remove the kilt without unbuckling it, the kilt would claim victory o'er my exhausted body as I lay crumpled to the ground, smote by 8 yards of colored wool.

In defense of the guys who unbuckle every time:
I can put on/take off my Stillwater kilts without unbuckling... so these aren't tailored.

Perhaps a tailored unit would be much more difficult to do this with?

Aye Matt,

It is a chore for me to buckle and unbuckle for a simple reason...I can't see the buckles over my belly!

So usually pull on and off and deal with the hassle of pulling the shirt tail down.

Think it has more to do with one's body shape than personal preference...we chose what works best for out body.

A buckler and unbuckler here too.

Oh yes it is and I never relax my stomach muscles in public!

Well even if I did the hips would catch it anyway as manual assistance is required to get it over them!

Looks like there are one or two of us who have this technique. Saves time messing about with finding the right hole in the straps.

I have donned and removed kilts in both manners, even though stepping into it and pulling it up remends me somewhat of watching my wife put on a skirt. I think that most of us who can don our kilts in this manner suffer from a bit of middle aged spread.
