Underwear....or not

[Steve Ashton]

I had a very interesting conversation with the Regimental Sergents Major of the Canadian Scottish about just this topic.

According to Canadian military uniform regulations you are required to wear those items issued to you. Underwear is issued.
While some Canadian kilted units do have a tradition of going regimental it would actually be contrary to a strict interpretation of the regulations.

Currently in the Can Scots the policy is "Don't ask, don't tell."

I also find it strange that many of those who hold so closely to the no underclothing thing, are many of the same who seem to see it as some form of sexual titillation. Some way of attracting women. To them I usually reply "girls don't really want to see your junk."

The bottom line with me is that if you hire a kilt from my fleet you will sign an agreement, that for hygiene reasons and out of respect that these garments represent a significant investment, you will wear undergarments.
I will ask for an imprint of your credit card as a damage or loss deposit. If you bring a kilt back with smegma stains or feces smears I don't even try to throw it into the washer. I will immediately charge your card the $26.00 it costs me to take it to the dry cleaners.
