First real public wearing...

[sjrapid]

Used a tip that I picked up on this forum abought using a towel to keep the pleats from getting wrinkled while driving;

I missed that one. Could someone give me a pointer or explain?

Best regards

My apologies to the original tipster, I forget who it was. But anyway, take a towel and wrap it around the kilt good and snug then sit down in the car seat and twist into position. This keeps the pleats from dragging on the seat holding them in place. It works great.

Good story, better tip, best news.

That's just brilliant! Why have I never seen this tip before?

Even here in Seattle, the birthplace of the UK, I get alot of positive comments, and see alot less people in them than one might think.
But I remember the first time I wore it in Portland, since I wore it to school, I was really nervous about it as well.

Brilliant indeed! It'll hold the pleats in place as you get into the car. Neat suggestion, thanks Dunnigan, and thanks to whomever made it originally (was it this post I wonder?)

Hamish mentioned the use of a turntable on a car seat in this post, but I'd never thought of the use of a towel as pleat-stabiliser.

What a wonderful thing this board is!

Two Thumbs Up for THAT day!

Congratulations on the doctor's report. That's the best news of all. Well, maybe, "OK, we're all done with that" from your urologist is the best news, but . . . well, you know.

And it's always great to hear another good report on a kilted first outing. I have always found almost 100% positive comments, and we really do have to admit that the "what's under the kilt" comments are engendered at least in part by the mystique that most of us tend to put forth with cryptic comments and songs about the blue ribbon.

Thanks for sharing the story.

I have spent the last year wearing my kilt everywhere in the Phoenix area.

Phoenix seems very accepting of kilts - I even got a compliment on a street downtown which is not common for me - usually people say nothing.

The only time anyone laughed was at a mall in East Mesa - a group of teenagers laughed and it happened on more than one visit there. I wonder if it was the same group of guys - maybe they just hang out at the mall every weekend?

Now that I have moved out east and that is my closest mall I should work on getting that mall used to kilts as well.
