Re: Long Shirts with a kilt?
I've never had an issue with the long back of the business or formal shirts, like Riverkilt. There's been times in my life that the business shirts were mainly what I wore; talking about the type that go with a neck tie. With a kilt, I've also not had any problems wearing them that I recall. I'm not sure why, but thinking about it, I seem to bend forward at the waist a bit as I sit down, and that pulls the shirt up a little in the back. When wearing trousers, I have had to adjust the back of the shirt at some point after having sat down because it is then "bloused" in the back, as Nighthawk and Tobus mentioned.

Yes, the shirt on the inside of the kilt.
As far as the type of shirt that is long all the way around like a tunic, I was pondering one thing. Back in the day, people used to wear the kilt around their tunic or shirt, and their shirt could serve as a garment on it's own, as pointed out already.
I spend a good deal of time "toiling in the fields," and hang my overalls on a nail by the door when I come in the house, most times. I understand this is not the lifestyle of most, however, a long shirt could still serve as an "around the house" type garment. It is much easier to remove a kilt and hang it on the nail than the overalls or jeans for that matter, and the tunic-like long shirt would not work well with overalls in the first place.
Just saying...

Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
