    georgeblack7 made a good point. I don't know much about you buddy, but if your kilt is hitting at the right spot at your knee & you are wearing your sporran, you should be ok. For us US American men that are not used to kilts it does take a bit of getting used to. But trust me, after awhile it becomes old hat.

    One thing you will need to perfect, if you haven't already, is 'sitting like a lady'. We call this 'sweeping the pleats'. I think Hamish has a video here on the forum about that.

    Believe it or not a big factor in having a kilt cover the chair when you sit is the height you wear the waist.

    I have found in fitting hundreds of guys in kilts that if the kilt is worn "Low Rise" it seems not to be long enough to cover the chair. But the same person in a "Full Rise" Kilt has no problem.

    No one likes the surprise of a cold vinyl chair seat.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.
