    This is true. Just one more reason to stay on the treadmill.

    There are two things to consider.

    Firstly, is the length of the kilt. 8yarder, 5yarder, traditional, contemporary, if your kilt is too short the problem will be the same.

    Secondly, is the pleat sweep. I tend to sit down at the front edge of a seat and then slide back into the seat. You have got to practice to get it right - for hours if necessary. Till you get it right. Check the tutorials.

    Regards

    Chas

    I've got sitting on a chair down pat, but sitting down cross-legged on the ground at a concert can be startling if the grass is prickly…
