    Practice the "butt sweep" as you sit down so that you are more-or-less sitting on the pleats flat rather than jumbled up. Hopefully it is a wooden pew and not one of those wretched padded monstrosities...mush easier to get things right on a smooth surface.
    I've sat for good long periods and never seen a problem in either acrylic or wool kilts. I don't think you can generate quite enough heat to re-crease the pleats significantly. I never, however, wear a kilt when driving long distances.

    "my fiance gets worried i am going to crunch the pleats"

    You've just made a lot of fellows very jealous with that remark!!!

    Congratulations on the wedding! And this pic looks like it was taken right after you set the date! Kind of a deer in the headlights look on your face.

    I wear my sporran outside the straps and the belt inside, unless they are small loops (like on my USAK casual) and I want to wear my wider belt. Then both go outside the loops.

    mrpharr, are you German descent, or possibly your lovely bride to be? And where is this wurstfest? I love the little Nurenberger wirsts with kraut and potato salad (the warm kind, of course). My wife is halb Deustche, seine mutter kommt aus Berlin.

    Tschuss
