Apron when sitting

[AckZel]

Ok, I got my new 16oz 8yrd trad. Now I have a prob. How the hell I get the apron to fall down when i sit. The sides of the kilt are so heavy they put tha apron straight and... well you know... They expose my precious to the world. It is made to measure sot it is fairly tight so it also pulls the apron hem up when I sit. What to do with it?

[MacMullen]

I've found that, when I sit, the under apron falls into the appropriate position to avoid exposing anything that oughtn't be.

Does your kilt pull both aprons straight?

If it doesn't fall naturally, try pushing the apron down between your legs after you sit.

Oh, we have all been through this one, Ackwell, so don't worry! Fortunately for me, I mastered this (slight) problem some 55 years ago. You will find that it becomes second nature just to give the aprons a sharp push down as you sit. When you have both hands free, you'll soon learn to sweep the pleats with one hand as you quickly 'tap' the aprons with the other.

I can only advise that you practice doing this for a while, in private; it will soon be something you do without giving it a thought.

Good Luck!

Great advice. I've also learned that a little tug on the apron while getting out of the car can also help preserve your modesty.

And I have to add on an amusing side note. The other day I threw on a pair of sweat pants to do some work outside the house and I di dnot feel like messing up an expensive kilt. In the course of the day I needed to jump into my car and go to the hardware store. When I went to sit in the car, I found myself sweeping the pleats that I was not wearing!

I find myself doing that as well the few times I wear troosers. Amazing how habits can become ingrained.

What's worse, though, is when you do have to wear pants and you forget to close your fly because you're just not used to having to do it. I've done that SEVERAL times. Luckily the folks who pointed it out to me know that I'm a kilt-wearer so they just laugh with me amicably.

wehn you wear a kilt it is important to remeber when siting to keep your legs togither , kilts give freedom pleats swinging etc but you have to be careful!unlike trousers you have to be alert.
