Sitting in a car, and pleat gathering...

[fudgeman]

There's a simple solution to maintaining your pleats while getting into a car. Simply keep a large towel in the car to use for this purpose.

Before you slide in, wrap the towel around your kilt... making sure that the pleats are hanging straight first. Center your "backside" in the towel, then pull the sides to the front. By wrapping it tightly as you get in, the pleats maintain their form and you don't MANGLE them while driving. When you sit down, just release the sides of the towel and sit on it while you drive. No need to pull it out and take the chance of messing-up what you've just tried to prevent!

This is the ONLY solution that I've had for my thinner material kilts. The thicker, wool ones can benefit from the treatment too.

Wow, just what I needed. As a relatively new kiltie, I've been struggling with this problem as I try and get into my Tundra. With the higher seats (and no leather ) I've been frustrated. Gotta go get me an appropriate towel as my newest kilt accessory!

You could get one of those "See you Jimmy style" Kilt Towels that's causing all the fuss on the Royal Mile at the moment. Passing motorists wouldn't be any the wiser if you had one of those...

I agree with Staticsan; the right hand drive car is the answer, for the reasons he describes... I don't have a problem either. In fact my pleats benefit from a good pressing with my lardy ar**!
