I must say that due to the lockdown I have been doing a lot of investigations into kilts and how they are worn and made.

I have had some issues with comfort, thinking that the kilt and hose are inherently uncomfortable and need some practice to get any element of comfort.

Now I have found the comfort of both

For the kilt I have found the "natural" waist: feel for the top of the hip on the side and the buckle line is just above that, my navel is higher than that so was not a comfy height.

For the hose, a hand width from the bottom of the kneecap, I was 2 finger down which caused pressure on the hamstring on the back of my knee.

Also, I am using ties instead of elasticated flashes which are more comfortable due to the lack of constant pressure from the elastic.

Very happy now.

Just need to figure the sporran as it tends to bounce an hit me in the er... front
