Delicate regimental question

[pbpersson]

Ok, so I may regret this question in the morning, after the celebratory vodka tonics wear off. . . can't think of a better time to ask, though...

My thought on that is that if you don't ask the question you will never know the answer. They always say there is no such thing as a stupid question and many others probably have the same question and just haven't asked. This is a pefect example!

HOORAY FOR VODKA TONICS!

Exactly my point.

And I tent to wear my UK's higher than UK reccomends as well (not as high as a tank, but not hanging off my hips either).

Likewise; I tend to put my belt at my waist, whether it an UK or a traditional.

This is also why I developed the slope measurement for my kilts. By making the back of the kilt longer and the front shorter you get a kilt with a perfectly level hem when standing and almost never run out of hem when sitting. It also eliminates the pucker of the front apron that is so unsightly.

I like that idea. I must take a closer look at your site.
Thanks.

Indeed. I just discovered this very question came up on another forum a month earlier than I asked it.

Hip, hip! But today it's gin.

So, I think I'm wearing my kilts at the right length, .

... sometimes when I sit, my private bits graze the seat over the rear hem, despite care in smoothing out the pleats as I go. Does that mean that I'm just a bubble butt, or is that part of the thrill of the kilt?

I have the same issue w/ UK's occasionally. Bubble but and wearing the kilt too high (i.e. belt to tight causes it to ride up an inch or so, then when I sweep / sit---- COLD CHAIR, COLD CHAIR !!). Try wearing it an inch lower or just tugging it down (like the Picard maneuver) just before you sweep to sit.

Oh....GEEZ.....being an avid Star Trek fan I thought you were talking about accelerating to high warp so you appear to be in two places at once.

So I had to do some research and you are talking about THAT Picard maneuver.....which by the way I always found quite annoying.

[Eric T]

Maybe there's a form of the Picard maneuver that will make a kilt appear to be in two places at once, so the "crew" isn't exposed to the frigid expanse of space, and no kling-ons are encountered at planet Leatherchair.

The risk of exposure is certainly part of the allure of regimentality, amping up the s*xxiness of kilt wearing. We all know what the carpet beetles can see but won't tell. Cold Encounters of the Third kind may just be the price we have to pay for being nekked in public while fully clothed.

Yet do be considerate of others, who wouldn't want to sit on your "finger prints", however impressive they may be. Would you want to "carelessly" sit in a kilt where another man had "carelessly" sat in a kilt? Hmmm...

Um...

I'm pretty sure that those vodka tonics have worn off by now, but this thread seems to be taking a strange turn. Howzabout we wrap this one up?

Right-ee-oh.
And thanks.
