Getting Into a Car

Now that we have the pleat thing down to a science, let's discuss how we hold on to the car keys during this process. I hold the key fob in mouth or lay them down on the arm rest before entering.

How about those of us who are traveling on public transportation systems? Has anyone figured out how to keep the pleats flat while squeezing into a row of seats barely 6" from the row in front of it???

PLUS juggling any bags you might be holding.... I've perfected the one-handed pleat sweep, which usually takes a little extra adjusting once I've sat down. I often just stand on the subway, but prefer to take a seat on the bus. Depends how far I'm going.

Andrew, ever have any issues while boarding the street cars? Those Austrian-style ones are sooo high above the ground!

For long airline flights and/or train rides I have found the USA PV kilt to work very well and also be very forgiving. I have heard others brag about the UK also, but I don't own a UK, so I wouldn't know.

Thanks, James. I have a UK and don't worry about the pleats on it. I guess that I was wondering about a more traditional style kilt. Good point about the USAK. I don't have their semi-trad, but maybe some day.

Never gave the keys much thought....Hmmmmm

When casual, they are hooked on the belt. When dressy and above, they are in sporran or sometimes coat pocket. Current vehicles have electronic door openers, so I don't need keys until I am ready to put them into the ignition.
