"Improving" lightweight aprons?

[Riverkilt]

I'm wondering about the initial premise/need. I wear 11 oz PV and wool at a place nicknamed "The Windy Mesa." I've found little wind problems when wearing a regular type kilt pin.

Should a huge gust of wind cause the outer apron to "fly" well then that's what the under apron is for...the same wind that sails the outer apron is going to hold down the underapron.

I'm also wondering the effect of a "lining" on the look of the apron when seated.

A bit of "wind dancing", whether in the pleats or apron, seems to add a bit of sauciness to kilting.

Just me....and I used to worry a lot about "fly up" until I got used to the wind dancing in my kilts. Had all sorts of ideas like sewing drapery weights in the bottom of my kilts. Wind and kilts go together. Let them dance.

I agree with Ron.

I have 2 kilts, Both are something like 11oz cotton duck cloth. Like Ron, at first I used to worry about fly ups, but it's true - a kilt pin does make a difference. As does the sporran. I've left my house and church before on a windy days and never had a single problem.

Ron, since you are one of the few lucky owners,what about the lined Pittsburgh kilts?
