Thanks Ham. Here's the thing . . . I seem to have been doing it right!

Great clip, Hamish! Please feel free to post more guides to properly wearing the kilt…

HA! That's how I've been doing it all along!

Great video, Hamish!

Hamish, that is too cool! Obviously, I know how to sweep, but seeing you do it is just great!

By the way, that is a beautiful kilt with which to demonstrate!

Its definitely become a habit, as I'll find myself doing the same maneuver even on the odd occasion that I'm wearing shorts or jeans. Drop down and slide back.

That is a wonderful video, Ham. Thank you for such a great demonstration of the single-handed and double-handed sweep. Glad to know that I've been doing it right.

Ham - that is absolutely brilliant! I can't thank you enough for the video - it answers all my (and perhaps others) questions. I'm sorry I am late in posting this thank you - but I am facilitating a teaching retreat this week (kilted of course) and this is the first chance I've had to check in with my friends at XMarks.
Thank you again!
