How do we put them on?

[JackK]

I have the same problem as Ron, can't see the straps so good. I pull my 'regular' kilt up and tuck in my shirts. My UKs, as they sit on the hips, I pull over my head, thus not needing to tuck in the trail of the shirt.

Just a reminder to getting that shirt tucked in just right. I do what my wife taught me, reach from under the kilt and pull it down around you. I think that works better than trying to tuck and adjust. Just make sure your pleats are hanging and not bunched up when done. I always check by hand and mirror, and then do a twist back and forth a few times which adjusts and layers the pleats.

DALE.

I enjoy the pagentry of "buckling up" the kilt. It is part of the mood enhancement of wearing it in the first place.

DALE.

or even better - have someone else reach under & do it for you

There's more folks able to do this than I thought there would be.

I keep my kilts purposely strapped on snuggly so that they can't slide up or down. Perhaps if the kiltmakers had added an elastic waistbands or a zipper feature it might work. But do I really want that... nahhh.

I don't see how you can get the kilt on buckled? I tried to suck in my gut which is some what flat and I can't get it to drop :confused:

Guess I will have to keep buckling and belting my kilts.

Just thinking.....

Its a good thing those bifurcated guys who love to tease us can't read this thread...they'd howl....

And, on the other hand, isn't this a great board when we can get REAL about the things we have to cope with in the kilted world....and some women think men are insensitive....visions of Clint Eastwood (Gunny Highway) reading supermarket checkout magazines in Heartbreak Ridge...

Hey, I gotta try the over the head method...never thought of that...

I'm with Riverkilt. My belly is larger than my hips and not much smaller than my chest. I just loosen the straps, pull 'er up, reach under and pull the shirt down and tighten the straps.

I guess that I fall in the buckle/unbuckle catagory, even though I measure 40" waist and 41" hips. :mrgreen:

I've always buckled and unbuckled. It won't come off otherwise. Until this thread, I never thought there was any other way, so I've learned something new. It's great that there are different ways to "skin a cat"; whatever works best!
