Underwear....or not

[neloon]

I'm still trying to figure out how anyone can stand wool next to a lot of sensitive parts!

In the old days, unless one was rich enough to afford linen/cotton, all garments worn next the skin would have been woollen. Certainly, when I was young (especially in winter), vests(undershirts) were made of wool. And, as has been discussed in the following threads, tartan undertrews for the kilt were the norm until the late 30s.
