    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.

    Like others have said, the traditional kilts are designed to be worn with a sporran. The wider aprons need the weight of the sporran to help push them down when sitting.

    Dido that! Sporrans serve more than one purpose.

    I don't know that that's any of my doing... it just seems that the wool holds to the other layers of wool pretty good... I'm hoping it'll smooth out with time... it's a little itchy right now...
