That pocket reflex

[phil h]

maybe just go out and buy tons of stuff to go with your kilt, six bags in each hand will give you something to hold onto

[Freelander Sporrano]

Thank-you all very much for the advice .

I have used the brushing and swatting (Just ti fool the wife). I try to stand like Graham in one of the pictures on Bears site.

Not having any military trainning I have the habit of just putting the hand I don't use in my pocket (Usually the l/hand.)If you look in my gallery I have my hands in front on one nearly covering my sporran.and when wearing my full rigg I tug at my shirt cuffs in a James Bond manner.

[Graham]

It rather reminds me of those who have just given up smoking, they often complain that they have nothing to do with their hands!

If we were Italian, there would be no problem, we would only have to talk!

David you cannot stand like me, you're not short enough!
When I am walking with nothing in my hands, I tend to swing my arms a bit, not hard to do since wearing a kilt make you feel 10 feet tall walking down the street. I'm sure I walk faster in a kilt!

I'm sure I walk faster in a kilt!

What, to get away from all those women who are chasing you?

Right: Gman Yes I swing my arms a lot I kinda' march.

Yes, Richard I also play with my Tassles

You poor lad Alaskan I hpoe you wern't too embaressed?

Phil,If only I had your muscles instead of my astmatic chest

Finally Graham,
yes a jacket would be a good idea I also use a day pack while hiking.I'm waiting for my bear before I do more than day trips.Also I've never smoked.Not on purpose anyway

I've never had that problem, but then it's tough to put your hands in your pockets when you have a wee dram in one hand and the bottle in the other!

I suppose it all depends on thr size of the pockets Thoose on the survival utilikilt look large enough

[Rufus]

David, you must have amazing hearing! How did you hear me sniggering all the way in Europe?

I understand the hand in the pocket problem. Not being military trained, and being of the shy shoe gazer variety, I tend to stick my hands in my pocket a lot.

I've found that when I'm wearing my kilt, I end up playing around with the sporran a lot, especially the tassels, like Richard. I do the genie stance like Phil when I'm standing around, but it's a very closed stance body language wise, which many people don't like when they're trying to talk to you. Especially women. :P

I can't wait for jacket/vest weather again, so I do have some pockets for my hands.

[Freelander Sporrano]

I think we could be twin souls in that respect......What respect ...We're both Sporran twiddlers. thoose tassles are such fun to play with...I love the drum beat they give out when I walk briskly.

I also agree with the body language comment. You(not you personally) give off a don't mess with me...You can't tell me anythining I don't know already know look. Which is great sometimes but not always.

I'd need Phils muscles to pull it off completly...The look that is Not the sporran

Utilikilts have the "Mocker Kilt" with pocket that you can put your hands in. I think that is a great idea. I know Philbo has one and its a real nice looking kilt. Or maby its the sirvivor kilt I dont' know but it does have front pockets.
