Kilt Liners?

**Gaian** · 26th October 06, 06:25 AM

Just saw these on Ebay. Had to share and get the opinion of the rest of you guys about this.

What do you think?

I think the problem with this would be that it is probably not a stretchy material.

I'd still prefer more of a loin cloth type of garment than a skirt style.

I'd say it's a somewhat of a good idea, although this type of fabric would make you a walking static charge.

I'd guess it's simply a slip. I've got some cotton flannel fabric is which I want to make a slip type of undergarment. I think it would work a little better being close to a tartan pattern and complimentary to the x-kilt I made of a Carharrt type cotton duck fabric.

I'd say no on this one.

I can't open an ebay link because my internet police here at work would have a cow, so I can't see the item.

I have been thinking along this same line though. I have a very lightweight kilt that I like to wear but it's getting really cold (snow last night) and I've been thinking about a flannel liner of some sort. It would be super simple to make and wouldn't even have to be attached to the kilt (yeah, I'm avoiding using the word slip :rolleyes: )
I think it might be worrth a try. Just a few bucks for some remnant flannel at the fabric store and a couple of snaps.

Actually, I was thinkng that a few judiciously placed buttons on the inside of the kilt would allow one to button in a liner that could be laundered seperately, thus saving wear and tear on the kilt. It could be the "all-season" solution as well...lighter polyesther for the warm weather and a flannel for the cold.

As long as it was a kilt LINER and was attached to the kilt it wouldn't be a SLIP, right?

...not that the "loin cloth" concept isn't a good solution, though.

it's a slip? wouldn't it be just a tad more manly just to get a pair of cotton shlepping shorts to wear under it?
i wouldn't want to dispel any image of myself by takintg a tumble, or having my date find a satin slip under my kilt in a dark quiet theatre and risk an exclaimation of her discovery..
how ever...it might feel really exotic...

Why not? we already wear garters.

The answer to the cold is a heavier kilt. To protect the kilt from body oil and for frontal comfort I just take a comfy pair of baggy boxers and snip the crotch. Cheap and effective. I don't worry about matching the kilt, because it doesn't show.

Thank you! How did we go from, "The Kilt is a time honored manly garment" to, "Let's wear slips like the ladies do with their skirts".

Crack me up...you sure that's not a Utilikilt Spartan?

I still have my three black J'Dez underkilts. Still like them. Sorry they apparently stole money from some folks on this board by never delivering.

Have thought about going to a distant town and finding one of those big beautiful women clothing stores and looking for a cotton slip...but don't need to yet since the three I have now work so well. Just wear them with my hand sewn kilts...protects the kilt from me...
