Slightly to one side of the topic-thanks to an overly active youth: there are times when I sieze up-mainly first thing in the morning on arising-or later after sitting say in the evening.

The result is that I move akin to a wooden soldier-and putting trousers on-removing them is both complex and fraught with danger-falling over.

The kilt is then a great boon.

I've heard similar comments from others after hip/leg operations.
