Older brother is a kilt kop

[AmateurKiltsmen]

Your brothers feelings toward Scotland aside, he is correct. Kilts are not meant to be worn over trousers.

If you said, "instead of trousers" that would be entirely different. But the context of what I quoted doesn't say that at all.

At the end of the day it’s how I feel comfortable wearing it, take it or leave it, both my older brother and you should understand that, and that dictating what is worn underneath is kilt police behaviour.

I’m interested in becoming a valued member of your community and I do not wish to get into childish arguments about what should be worn under the kilt, but each to their own.

...each to their own.

That is all that needs to be said.

While I wouldn't wear a kilt with trousers, I would drink a beer with you in a pub as I wear a kilt myself.

And as I wear my kilt too, however I decide to wear it.

Exactly my point.

What did I dictate to you?

No one can dictate what you wear, but on a discussion forum people are going to ... discuss. If you weren't interested in discussion (with the risk of people disagreeing with your choice), why post at all?

I think what people are confused by is the choice to wear the kilt (an outergarment) over trousers (another outergarment). It would be like wearing a cowboy hat over a baseball cap. It doesn't make any sense.

Because the post wasn’t meant to be discussing that at all, read the original post.

It’s more like wearing two coats over each other or a cape over a coat imo but ok.

I have no desire to “go commando”

To “go commando” is to go without underwear. Nobody is suggesting you do so. In fact, a large majority here will encourage you to wear underwear.

…it’s not a fear as such…

I’d rather have that then sexual harassment

Throughout this thread you have made it clear that you have a fear of some sort. If your concern is sexual harassment, then you have our full empathy. Again, we can help with that. I, for one, am having difficulty in understanding where you are coming from.

...the meat of the thread was how to deal with my older brother who is anti kilt and anti Scottish.

Your brother is a dick. Ignore your brother or tell him to get bent. There really isn’t much else to say on the matter, unless you wish to provide more details. Frankly, your mode of wearing a kilt is a more interesting topic.

…my mom said she would wear trousers underneath too as a kilt is relatively short…

Your mom is not wrong. It is, in fact, relative. Relative to an ankle length dress, a kilt is indeed short. Compared to a mini-skirt, a kilt is quite long. Kilts are longer than most shorts. Do you wear shorts? If you do, do you wear trousers under the shorts?

Regarding the last one, no but last time I wore shorts was a very long time ago.

Also if you want to discuss this i can start a kilts over trousers thread, since I can’t seem to find the last one I thought I saw.

I am guessing with confidence that if you were to wear shorts today, you would not wear trousers under them. If you want to start a new thread, have at it. But do tell us what is really bothering you.
