New Kilt Wearer Question

[Tartan Hiker]

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!!!

Or do what I did and go to Target, look in Women's Accessories, and get a 3/4" wide plain black belt in the right length.

You are, what?, a 28" waist?? I regret to say that I think I would have to go to an equestrian tack shop.

Nayhyhyhyh!

Rex,

Actually the tan/brown belt I just picked up (last one in the right color) was a 2X and I will have to cut it down and punch a new belt hole in it. Don't sell yourself short...err....large...hmm...whatever. And I will have you know I have quite the rugged frame and very manly ...err 36" waist...ok I'll shut up now...

mrpharr,

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! When is it?

Cheers

I have only 13 and 16 oz. hand sewn Scottish wool 'tanks' not counting two belted plaids but as far as the pleats go, even after sitting on them for hours any wrinkles that might have been there simply fall away in a minute or two and can't be seen at all.

so when i wear my sporran chain it should go through the small black loops that are sewed in the inner side of the kilt and the belt goes through the more traditional belt loops. is this correct?

some 'experts' say wear it through yur belt loops..

other 'experts' say dinnae wear it through yur loops...

ai hae found that fur general dee tae dee use ai dinnae gae through the loops...

(it is easier tae swing tae the side when it comes time tae expel the mony wee drams ai quaffed...)

but fur dancin arr hikin ai gae through the loops tae keep it fraim slidin doon tae mai knees....
