    Re: Wearing the kilt while driving

    Like Jock said, take sporran off if it's an issue.

    For keeping the pleats straighter, watch my video on how I get in a car whilst kilted:

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Wearing the kilt while driving

    Excellent demonstration! I think it should be a sticky, somewhere.

    Of course, we here in the UK are lucky having right hand drive vehicles. I just pleatsweep and sit into the driving seat as if I were sitting in a chair. When I swivel round into the driving position my pleats are in the right direction and will stay there.

    As to the sporran, if I am sitting, driving, eating, toileting or dancing close, I push my sporran on to my left hip. Far easier to do if you use a sporran strap rather than chains.

    Regards

    So that's why the UK has right-hand drive!

    Re: Wearing the kilt while driving

    Just now I've returned from a piping gig (kilted of course) and an issue came up: when driving kilted, I use both hands to sweep the pleats as I get into the car, meaning that I can't get into the car while holding things in my hands, which I can do if wearing pants.

    Otherwise it's much more convenient and comfortable driving kilted.
