I've always gotten the same impression but I think that may be because when most guys wear the UKs the waist is higher on the back than in the front. The kilt waist plunges beneath the belly yet rises up to the top of the posterior. Since UKs are short anyway, that leads to less coverage for your gentleman when you sit down. That of course isn't the case for a traditional kilt worn in the proper manner since it is a horizontal kilt waist above or on the belly.
