how to eat whilst kilted

[BadenochWolf]

Perhaps it is time to reintroduce the usage of bibs and napkins. Last time I was in London, we went to Simpson's in the Strand, a roast beef carvery. They supplied us with one yard square white linen napkins to cover our finery while we ate. These were large enough that when tucked into the collar, you are protected to the knee.

I have an old pillowcase I took out the seam on and keep folded up in my sporran for just such a contingency. It covers the entire apron. It also works for getting in and out of cars with cloth seats, where your pleats might catch the fabric before you're situated. Set it down first, then get in. Just don't put the side with supper crumbs and finger grease towards your backside after.
