I bought my first modern kilt from UT Kilts just about a week ago, the basic utlikilt that comes in a generic black tartan. Love the pockets, have to say the apron has not been a problem for me. Aprons probably cover about 2/5 of the way around and neither interfere with my legs or present a problem when sitting. Actually have more of a problem with one of my regular kilts where the apron is more like 55% of the circumference, seems to just stick to my leg and stays tight across the lap.
