That pocket reflex

[Daneel]

I find tucking my thumbs into the belt loops at the back is the simplest solution. Some time I slide 4 fingers of my right hand into the top of the waist with the thumb hooked over the top.

OK this thread was linked to recently, so I guess it's fair game again. ;)

I don't like to put my hands behind my back because it makes the gut look even bigger. Normally I will put my thumbs at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions, inside the waistline of the kilt behind the belt and rest them there.

I don't think I ever had the pocket or zipper reflex whilst wearing the kilt. Earlier on in my kilt days I was just too aware of what I was wearing and even now, my posture and the way I carry myself are just completely different than when I wear pants. It's more comfortable, self-confident, upright. My reflexes are different in the kilt, and even the subtleties of how I move change when I'm in the kilt.
