I too tend to reach for pockets that aren't there, just like I get phantom cell phone vibrations when I'm not wearing my phone. Don't laugh.......it's a very real phenomenon that I've heard from others and on TV news. I guess when you're accustomed to wearing a vibrating cell phone, you can have those sensations even when it's not on your belt! The same holds true when you search your kilts for pockets that aren't there. Hopefully, with time, that will subside because I plan to wear my kilt more often.
Here's to good vibrations and good kilting!
