Wearing the kilt backwards

[davedove]

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."

Maybe the kiltmakers need to send a 1 page info sheet with their kilts just in case.

Stillwater Kilts provides insructions on how to wear the kilt with every purchase.

SWK even puts a not in their instructions preparing the customer for inevitable "underware questions" hehe.

I've always thught it made more sense to sit on the flat part and not wrinkle the pleats.

Of course, a well crafted kilt with quality pleatwork (to the sett of course), looks like its being worn backwards from the rear view.

wouldn't that total 10 then?

two to hold the kilt
four to spin the guy
Pour1Malt for hold the scotch
two to feed scotch to the others..
one to keep everyone from laughing out loud at the back-to-front kilt...

correction 11 .... Hamish to take a pic for the dos and donts thread

These were no doubt rented kilts, the best man who picked them up didn't THINK to ask how in the world they worked, his wife told him and he told the groom and all the groomsmen. I think we figured it out! Blame it on the ladies!

This is my other point. Maybe it would be easy to put on a velcro closure kilt or a UK type kilt on backwards, but a traditional kilt would be difficult to put on backwards. It would feel like trying to put on dress pants backwards and do up the fly.

When I was bartending one of my female customers left the bar with one of my male clients and came back with her jeans inside out and I asked her "I really want to know how you got your jeans zipped-up?" :rolleyes: she left for the ladies
