Sit!

[Tartan Hiker]

Few know this, but bar stools were invented for kilted persons. You just slide onto the stool...no sweeping required!

Aye, lad. That's a great observation. I've noticed it, too. They're the perfect height.

When I get out of the car, I have my wife check the pleats. I always feel a little silly doing that.

When I get out, I do a quick half turn (not as far as a "spin") one direction or another while I'm still behind the door, just enough to flare out the kilt - that usually will put everything to right.

Personally, I just do a quick handstand. After than I've got no worries about people caring how I sit, and I've usually got a few shapely female volunteers to help with the butt-sweep.

...And for my gay brothers, that is not my stereotype, but that of others. Those who have a problem with me wearing a kilt typically have prejudices about many other things in society!

No worries KCW... i have ordered our troops to stand down and put away tar & feathers as you are one of the good guys on here...

Not that I've noticed, but then, I don't get hassled often, and I don't really watch for people's reactions anymore. Besides, I have a couple of gay friends at school who've told me I'm too "butch" to be mistaken as gay - skirt or not. I think they were complimenting me. ...

Iolaus, you are right to take it as a compliment - a rather inaccurate one but still a compliment. (and i will stop there with this line of discussuion before i get on my soapbox...)

BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND... How does one get OUT of a high verhicle without flashing ??? the sweep & slide works well when sitting down but if you have to turn to get OUT of the vehicle the kilts usually doesnt turn with you and can potentially ride up in the front.... in a regular car, putting one leg out first allows the sporran to fall and give coverage but in a higher vehicle it is often too big a step down for this approach...

Ohhhh, boy....you put me in mind of one of those "moments of trepidation" that my wife has everytime I turn around to get out of the mini-van (yes...mini-van...it's as much vehicle as I need and no more...). I can see the look of concern on her face almost every time...will it or won't it? But Onion is right: put the left foot down and the kilt and sporran slide gracefully over to the left and modesty is preserved...you might flash a lot of left thigh as you pop the leg out onto the pavement but certainly no more than if you were wearing conventional bifurcated hiking shorts. Gravity is your ally here.

Well, they may have been teasing me too, we do "banter" a bit.

I generally just slide down, and worry about the pleats after I hit the ground; without a step on my rig, there's really no other way to do it. ...oh, the flashing aspect? um, generally the apron does turn with me; if I have a sporran it will weight down the middle, if I dont, I just punch down the middle, and there's enough material in back to slide on and still not pull up the apron as I slide.

Also, keep in mind, you have a door occluding two thirds of the view; that gives you some protection while manoeuvring.

I like to do a little twirl, and to get a good spin, I just stand on one foot. get some good g forces going, and the last thing anyone is focusing on is actually sitting down.

Is that like the Humpthelinerstiner test Cilted?

Uh... I thought that was the whole point of wearing a kilt.

Like many of you, I've so gotten into the habit of sweeping my kilt under me that I do the same movement when I'm wearing trousers.

I've not had a problem about flashing anyone while getting out of the vehicle. But my Utilikilts tend to run just a bit long, so I'm covered. I'm extra-careful when wearing my standard-length Bear kilt. I'd rather leave that "shock and awe" thing to the military.

Then again I've only once seen a woman expose herself when getting out of a car. She was a regular at a car wash where I worked years ago. She'd do it on purpose to give the guys on the vacuum station a little treat. Come to think of it, she looked a bit like Sharon Stone.
