    Second, have a talk with your wife or girlfriend of even your mother about the art of sitting and standing while wearing a skirt. Women learn this at a very early age, but an inexperienced male can easily and unknowingly create visual havoc on those around him. Third, learn to sit with your legs close together at all times. This is an imperative, and for best results, should be practiced at home in front of a mirror before going out in public.
    Why does this always get promoted as the correct way for a man to sit in a kilt!? It shows a complete incomprehension of why kilts are suited to men. It shows that the speaker is just as ignorant in their thinking that a kilt = womens skirt.

    A man should be aware of not exposing himself but to sit with legs together is not anatomically reasonable. Of all the ridiculous statements I've heard come from anyones mouth about a kilt, this ranks as #2.

    Perhaps Kelly should have made the effort to speak with a local kiltie. I'm somewhat offended she didn't call me. She could have easily gotten better photos to use.

    I do hope the kilt is catching on in town, but I don't see it happening. I've been kilted for several months and still get looks at the pub as if they've never seen one. I've not seen another kilt outside the Scottish Society/ local pipe band either. There are even pipers who practice on the street in jeans.

    Perhaps we should try to organize a kilt night for those who are relatively close. I know we have a strong N GA contingent. Who's up for a pint?

    I know, I never had to "learn" I just do things the way I normally them, with a few precautions.
