    In airplanes I try to sit alone ,not always possible.Sometimes being kilted scares them away The newer airplanes have arms that make it easier to adjust pleats.Still dificult to sweep ,but, then you almost always have to adjust the pleats so they don't bunch up your bum.

    Hmmm,

    Now I'm thinking of wearing my Macabi Skirt the next time I fly....

    As for kilts and cars its a non-issue. I just got into the habit of sitting in the seat the same way I did when panted. Then, before I grab the seat belt, I lift my butt and toss the part of the kilt hanging out the door under my butt and go. If its a long drive I may adjust more with sweeps or reaching under the front to grab the bottom of the back hem and pulling it forward.

    Being so remote I make a lot of long drives in to civilization for fun and shopping. Usually choose a knock around kilt for that - UK denim or camo original or USAK Casual.

    I can tell you from experience that I've sat on my tanks for hours on long drives and they just don't wrinkle up. Nor do my leather kilts.

    Main thing, as said before, don't shut it in the car door. We've all gone to highland games and seen guys arriving with a big chunck of their kilt hanging out the door. Sad....and greasy.
