    in the more puritan parts of the USA.

    In my case, where my waist size isn't
    exactly stable, it would be easier to
    accommodate the expanding width
    with minimal re-stitching.

    It would also help balance the weight,
    if only a little, on a rear-heavy tank.
    I was just thinking the same thing this weekend. I was wearing my kilt at my sons college parents day. We sat down on some low and deep (artsy) couch in the art building and my wife came over and said I was exposing myself. Needless to say the sporran was low and the material was pushed all the way it would go but because of the couch it didn't quite cover. I have not had the problem with a utilikilt but the pleats in the wool are too far away.

    When the seat I am in doesn't provide the optimum positions for modesty, I find it best to just spread my legs more and everything seems to fall into place.
