What was not mentioned was FK's beer gut cut. Extra measurements are taken for the dip in the aprons. Still I prefer to wear my FK at the navel. Doing this with wearing my kilt at my expanding waistgives me space behind the aprons for what ever is in my front pockets. Of my FK I use those pockets the most, in fact I prefer to have these pockets on all my kilts casual or traditional. I use my side cargo pockets fairly frequently as I don't wear the sporran with this kilt. Same goes for my RKilts although I tend to use the incorperated beer holder straps (tool holder? My foot) just as much. the rear pockets on my FK (not cargo as I didn't want to take away from the look of the pleats) is the least seldom used pockets. My next FK I will most definately get the front slash pocket but will probably opt out of the side and rear pockets and grab a sporran instead. At times I prefer the look of a sporran but would daren't wear it with all the pockets.
