:rolleyes:
Back when I was a lad growing up in Scotland we never had a problem with what we should wear under our kilts. We wore what our mothers gave us to wear and in my case and the case of many of my contemporaries what mothers gave us was schoolgirls bottle green or navy blue knickers.
Now to those of you who think knickers are those trousers that some golfers wear, let me tell you that girls knickers are what schoolgirls in the UK wore under their school skirts. Mothers chose them because back then the only underwear that was available for boys were off white trunks and it was felt that those under a kilt would draw attention when the lad was horsing about while playing or if they were to sit incautiously or should the wind lift the pleats. It was thought that wearing girls knickers of a colour that toned with the main colour of the tartan would make any flash less obvious.
Anyway I was given bottle green knickers to wear with my kilts and I found them so confortable that i have continued to wear similar items under my pleats to this day.
These items can be seen for sale on e-bay just click on to girls gym knickers and see what is under my kilt.

no wonder Pat Robertson said such nasty things about us.

When I was younger and worried about my friends playing silly games I would wear flesh coloured bikini just in case. When I got older I would wear black because it was less obvious and now I don't really care. Although, looking around in the past few weeks, now that I am wearing the kilt more often, I can't find that flesh colour anymore.

hmm, here I am near midnight talking about underwear on the net. Gotta get that in focus too.

Archangel, you have succeeded in getting me to spit soda all over my computer screen! Well said!

Reverting to the original question, whilst a firm advocate of the kilt for most occasions: there are some activities related to work etc-where unfortunate as it might seem, trousers are more suitable.

Moving on: I too can remember the schoolgirl knickers, and not thinking twice about it at the time. Amusing though to think that those of us brought up in a traditional way were taught that underwear should be worn-and then to have all the stuff about 'regimental' in respect of adults.

When, where, and what did he say?

On subject: Although I enjoy regimental I have come to realize that something 'neath is wise when around children here in North Dakota with our incessant wind. I also have to take into consideration that my dear wifes' comfort level rises immeasurably when she knows I won't be hauled in for indecent exposure or worse. ;)

google ""Pat Robertson", Scotland". The BBC story is here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/...ile/359926.stm

I think that is a very strong point, while our companions hope things stay appropriate, they are not so willing, in fact, my experience is that they are closer to terrified that they will be ones to have to say, "eh, bit windy, eh?".
