Aren't UKs reverse Kingussie?
I might have one of my original kilts left somewhere that is still in the Kingussie style, but all those that I have remade due to my shrinking waistline have been changed to the reverse as I find it much better in scrubland - aka my back garden - to have the pleats pointing backwards as they snag so much less frequently.
I think that you are wise to have a heavy cloth, as I find that the reverse also flies less than the standard, though I think that a Kingussie would be ideal for running in. The reverse has a tendency to cling, some even to try to become trousers.
I do like the look of that kilt - though hasn't it got a slightly pinkish tendency?
Not that I have anything against pink, just that there could be some good natured observations
from the gentlemen of X Marks on the subject.
I presume to dictate to no man what he shall eat or drink or wherewithal he shall be clothed."
