    Re: Apron Overlap, he wants it on the left. Help!

    As Steve says, kilts can be swung around to fasten and as others have pointed out there are two straps, left and right. If you only have one hand then doing any strap us is going to be difficult regardless of which side we are talking about or wherever you swing the kilt to

    So, perhaps the question is not which side the apron goes to but "how do you find a simpler one-handed method to fasten the kilt". I don't have an immediate answer to that but I would consider other options like elastic, velcro, braces (suspenders) etc or perhaps even a one handed drawcord system
    Isn't it strange, the practicalities of doing up a kilt one handed did not even cross my mind. It should have of course, but I was actually thinking about the comments, from some, at their shock and horror of the kilt closing to the left.
