Aprons - Narrow or wide?

[Bugbear]

First, I am not a Kiltmaker, tailor, nor expert, and I really don't know a whole lot about all of this.

My contemporary canvas kilt had a front apron that was strait up and down on the right hand side (where the fringe might be on a traditional). However, it was almost as wide as a traditional apron, and the left hand side is tapered. I think the UK aprons are reverse tapered on the right, and straight on the left.

It was functional, but I didn't like it as much as the traditional apron. Thinking the bottom edge of the top apron was supposed to lay between the legs, toward the right leg, when sitting; that would have been helped with a reverse taper. I also think the buckle of the right hand side was misplaced a little, and had to use different holes on the strap, but that would be just for my specific kilt.

I decided to tinker with it, partly because it had a large turn back of the hem of the right side of the top apron.

I was able to get an "A" shape to the apron, as well as, put the buckle where it belonged, and a few other changes. It worked out well in my opinion.

So, from before and after, I can say I prefer the traditional apron, but can see how a narrow, reverse tapered apron would work out.

Also, I am not suggesting anyone should tinker with the kilt apron just because I did.
