With every kilt.

I think this video is great for people who just bought their first kilt or, especially, people who are renting them for weddings. The video just tried to make it simple as possible by saying that people should put it in their right sock.

But for "more advanced" kilt wearers, preference is definitely the way to go, as long as one understands what they are doing.

I hope they at least realize that the kilt is Scottish! (No offense to my English friends on the forum here).

Good video. I think it could have a little more clearer about the kilt pin though; regarding not pinning the 2 aprons together.

wouldn't that have to do w/ the old shield hand usually being the left hand, leaving the right hand for bladed combat???

When swords and targes were in use the sgian was not carried in the hose. That is a relativley modern addition to Highland dress. General concensus is that they would have kept it tuck somewhere near the armpit or anywhere else they could get at it easily. But not in the hosen.

A great video. I especially like the pictures toward the end of the various ways one can wear the Kilt.
