How do YOU sit while wearing a kilt?

Much more like Connery, If i sat like Bonnie Charlie Certain pieces of me would nott ne happy. That being said i do sometimes sit with me ankles crossed and knees not quite that wide or thrust out straight with ankles crossed.

Connery ...

connery, but also sometimes with legs crossed either narrow (knee over knee like a lady) or wide (ankle over knee like a man). either way the sporran and aprons are forcibly pushed down to maintain decorum.

Usually like Connery but occassionally with leg over knee. Never like PC. Usually a well placed tuck and push the sporran down does the trick and satisfies my wife I wont be flashing the place. She is very possesive about who gets to see my junk. I have learned that some chairs work and some, (low deep comfy ones like the ones in the libary of my club) can be cause for concern - others - not mine - I dont much care who has a look but, as I said, my wife ....

More like Connery, I'm afraid, though narrower.

It might be unladylike but my hips just don't allow the PC on a normal height chair.

That could be one reason why my kilts all have deep under apron pleats and fairly narrow aprons, a design which has developed over time.

If I put my left foot up on a chair there is enough fabric for the apron edge to hang normally on the right and the outer edge of the first small pleat is against my left ankle. The under apron pleat contains almost the same length of material as the apron itself, measured at the waistline.

That means that I can step over stiles, climb over gates and the like without the aprons separating, and when sitting the aprons drop modestly, even without the aid of a sporran.
