I had never really examined how kilts were worn before I got my first one, but it just seemed to make sense that the opening should go to the front. I mean, how many men's garment can you think of that open in the back?

Now, I could see a women making that assumption, since many of their skirts and other garments DO open in the back.

Maybe that's the answer.

"Honey, how does this go on?"

"Well, my skirt opens in the back, so maybe that does to."
