New Newsome 5-yard Knife

[McMurdo]

There is nothing wrong with the way it lays when you are sitting, it looks fine and you are not in any danger of exposing yourself.

Great looking kilt, Captain!

Do you always wear your kilt without a sporran?

I find a sporran, besides be essential for carrying stuff like wallet, keys, etc., is very useful for shielding "the boys" from view when sitting. When I sit in a traditionally styled kilt, I sweep the pleats in place with my right arm (because the pleats fold to the right) while simultaneously pushing down on the sporran while spreading my legs to accomodate. I continue to apply downward pressure on the sporran until I'm situated in my seat & the bottom of the sporran is pushing against the seat. This assures firm contact between the seat, apron & sporran, thus preserving modesty.

I usually do wear a sporran, but was in a hurry to catch the fading sunlight (thanks FedEx for taking all day!)for the pictures. However, I've recently been wearing CavScout's sporran adapter and wear it off center... but that's definitely good advice.

Kilt looks great
Your sporran will help keep the boys hidden

One of the compromises of a 5 yard kilt is a fairly skimpy deep pleat and reverse Pleat. These kilts look great when you stand but when you sit, the apron and underapron can't " relax" into the gap between your legs - there just isn't enough fabric there to let it happen. It doesn't look too bad, but those of us that own 5 yard kilts have to be a bit careful how we sit.

By the way - did I miss the name of the tartan? It's a very nice looking kilt.

[Captain]

Oh, sorry... It's the Cian tartan, which is my ancestral clan (I personally have not paid the $80 to join, thus ancestral).

[Mr. MacDougall]

It can not be denied that Matt does outstanding work. I'm just waitin' on my box pleat, with bated breath.

Your new kilt is very nice and your baby is adorable!

Do have baby's with eyes to match your kilt ...


CT - and that moves mine up the list too !

I think the problem is you are not letting the underapron slide under the overapron. There needs to be separation when sitting. In the Hamish video, when you push down on the apron, it is making the aprons separate, consequently you have more material between your knees.
