    When I sit down, I do two things:

    1) sweep the pleats.
    2) make sure the front is covered, by pulling it down in front.

    I want to get this right, because it is causing me problems. I am not trying to flash anyone. Every time I sit I check to make sure that is not the case. I am also not picking up the material in front, and flashing as I pull it down. I am pulling down what is already in front.

    Thanks for your help.
    If you make sure that you do those 2 things every time you sit down, then the problem could be 2 liars making up excuses to control what you wear.

    Just to double check after I sweep the pleats, I punch around between the knees to push that fabric nice a low between the legs. No problems.

    Best to ya on dealing with the in laws.....(if you know you do that kilt check every time you sit down, then people are making stuff up on your behalf and you should probably meet their champions by the garden shed to protect your good name that they are trying to sully). (kidding)

    Watch Hammish's video on how to sit properly. I'd guess from what you said that you are not flashing them, but rather it is a couple of over-active imaginations fueled by a couple of people who are uncomfortable with something that is out of their ordinary mode of thinking. Good luck to you.
