Eating baked beans and oranges may be the problem.

KILT WEIGHTS?

Years ago I was invited to spend the week-end at an army pal's a wee shooting lodge just outside of Blairgowerie. We were about the same size and he loaned me a kilt for the weekend, one of those heavy, 18oz regimental ones. (He was in the TAs in an A&S Btn for all you military types) anyhow, there was a string of small round fishing weights stitched to the hem of the apron, and in the corner of the apron there were a couple of heavy washers sewn into the hem as well. This did a pretty good job of keeping the kilt down, although the back was still subject to the ocassional "back draft".

You know NightHawk, I put that in to edit over another stupid comment I made. Oh gosh, I had a laugh over posting that first comment. I laughed so hard that I cried. Look at the post right after mine to get an idea. I took it out just a little bit later because I didn't want to have people spewing drinks all over their computers. Oh, and BTW, the mind is a terrible thing, let us all waste it.

In the words of me Grandpa Leddy- of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the least.

I wear medium to heavy kilts, have something heavy in my sporran, (Like a nice 6 oz flask of Whisky)
And when the wind gets me anyway, I casually and calmly smooth the kilt down and keep going.

Mmmmm.... Whiskey...
