Hmmm...as I think about it...as I'm sitting down I'm sweeping the pleats to the right with my right hand while my left hand is on the sporran sort of guiding it (and the fabric underneath it) into position....okay...the left hand is in "defensive position" pushing the front of the kilt down so that there's no chance that anything is going to be revealed.

As someone mentioned earlier, do this with the proper authority and there's no questioning it.

Best
