    Now that ought to raise a few eyebrows!

    Actually, I do take advantage of my desk's front panel and the let natural fall of the kilt's apron cover me. (I also have taken to sitting on the front edge of my desk chair and letting things sort of hang loose over the edge, but that gets a little uncomfortable after a while.

    I guess what I really need to do is get up and move around more--even squatting in front of the file drawers, as though I'm looking for something, and letting it all air out!

    Guess we have to be creative! Thanks guys!

    Remember that I'm talking about historical reenactment stuff when I mention going in just a shirt - the leine and ionar was a common combination in history, with the belted plaid being a combination of cloak, bedroll, tent, et cetera.

    I've also rolled up the plaid and belted it over one shoulder, with nothing wrapped around the waist. The "shirt-tails" I refer to hang to knee length - and keep the wool off of your bum and wykkeds whilst wearing it wrapped.

    Thompson comments on this in his "So You're Going to Wear the Kilt," and recommends longer shirt-tails for those shirts you wear with the kilt for the purposes of keeping the wool off of your delicate bits.
